Abstract

Abstract : In article number1807173, Yu Shrike Zhang and co‐workers report the development of an improved tumor‐on‐a‐chip model consisting of a bioprinted hollow, perfusable blood vessel for liquid delivery and a hollow, single end‐blinded lymphatic vessel for interstitial fluid draining, hosted in a 3D tumor microenvironment‐like hydrogel matrix. This model featuring the biomimetic local microcirculation exhibits well‐controlled transport of biomolecules and anti‐cancer drugs.
