Abstract
This paper presents a microfluidic device for the culturing of a pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) model, towards mimicking the biophysics of PDAC as observed in vivo. As a solid tumour, the biophysical rigidity of PDAC's microenvironment hampers the uptake of therapeutic agents, and understanding the biophysical nature of PDAC is key to effective therapeutic strategies.
