Al-Hity et al present a platform to study the tumour-immune interaction using a co-culture between cancer spheroids and activated immune cells. They assess the effects of cortisol application to the culture model as proof-of-concept, which demonstrates the potential for this platform as a screening tool for immunotherapy design.
