@sakhurram @ShefDentistry @sheffielduni @SudssWeb @shefunihealth @TUOS_Cancer @neopathology Congratulations! What wonderful news. Very well deserved and I look forward to seeing your vision realised. Sheffield are lucky to have you!

[Umber Cheema @UmberCheema]

Paper alert! Patient-derived CAFs remodel the tumouroid matrix in a heterogenous manner. When CAFs and cancer cells mix, heterogeneity is lost, matrix softening and an invasive phenotype are observed. #tumoroid #CAFs @iScience_CP
