Tumor cells with stem-like properties have been linked with relapse and metastasis. These so-called cancer stem cells uniquely form spherical colonies (called mammospheres for breast cancer) in low-attachment serum-free culture. We will present a microsystem that provides a low-attachment surface and a low-convection environment to enable mammospheres culture.
