Matrix biophysical cues drive transient or prolonged breast cancer dormancy programmes

Breast cancer metastasis can emerge after disease-free periods through the reawakening of dormant disseminated cancer cells. Despite evidence that the extracellular matrix (ECM) modulates this phenomenon, biophysical cues regulating dormancy fate and therapeutic responses remain poorly understood. Here, we engineered stiffness-matched gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) and alginate-based 3D matrices to…
