Video Clip: Invasion of Pancreatic Cancer Cells
Time-lapsed micrographs of invasion of mouse pancreatic cancer cells from an epithelial duct to the surrounding collagen matrix. This work is published in Bradney et al (2020) Small. This confocal micrograph illustrates the sprouts of invading pancreatic cancer cells are multi-cellular structures rather than morphological changes of a single cell. This image is also published…

Stephanie Venis’ MS Defense
Stephanie successfully completed her MSME defense. DEVELOPMENT OF A MICROFLUIDIC MODEL OF A PANCREATIC ACINUS Abstract Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) continues to have a dismally low survival rate due to late diagnosis and poor treatment options. Therefore, there is a need to understand the early stages and progression of the disease. PDAC is known to…
