3D models of ovarian cancer reveal how cell’s location can affect tumor biology

Using 3-D models of ovarian cancer tumors, scientists found differences in gene activity based on where a cell is in a tumor, demonstrating how a cell's location and environment in a cancerous tumor can strongly influence which genes are active and the cell's role in the cancer's biology.
