Researchers: Dr Nathalie Bock (Principal investigator)

Brief description The research will address the poor prognosis of patients with advanced prostate cancer bone metastasis by establishing a novel 3D bioengineered bone model containing high amounts of fat cells, where cancer cells can relocate. This approach will help identifying the impact of fat cells on cancer cell function, and help determine whether fat cells are legitimate therapeutic targets, ultimately assisting clinicians to select better therapies for prostate cancer bone metastasis.
