## Abstract We have been using threeβdimensional gels of native collagen fibres as a substratum for the study of cell migratory behaviour. The objective of this work has been to develop an experimental model system for the study of tumour cell invasion. Data are presented in this communication conc

In the last few years, it has become increasingly apparent that cell survival and death, especially apoptosis, strongly depend on cell adhesion and the extracellular matrix. In addition, it has also become clear that the use of three-dimensional multicellular tumor spheroids, which mimick more close
## Abstract Three cell lines, that is, the human breast cancer cell line (MCFβ7) and the human mammary epithelial cell line (Sβ1) and its malignant form (T4β2) were embedded in a reconstituted basement membrane (Matrigel) that had 20βnL pyramidβshaped silicon microstructures. The proliferative beha
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their specific inhibitors the TIMPs play significant roles in angiogenesis. We investigated how the expression of specific MMPs and TIMPs by human microvascular endothelial cells (hmECs) was modulated by culture of the cells in 3-dimensional (3D) type I collagen
## Abstract Pathological vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) behavior after vascular interventions such as angioplasty or bypass is initiated within the 3D environment of the vessel media. Here VSMCs proliferate, invade the surrounding matrix, migrate adluminally, and deposit substantial amounts of
