Preclinical models for multiple myeloma (MM) often fail to recapitulate the complexity of the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment, limiting their utility for drug testing and translational research. There is an urgent need for physiologically relevant, patient-adaptable platforms to support personalized therapeutic evaluation. We developed BioMarrow, a 3D ex vivo BM culture system using unmanipulated patient BM a...
Multiple myeloma (MM) is one of the most prevalent hematological cancers worldwide, characterized by the clonal expansion of neoplastic plasma cells in the bone marrow (BM). A combination of factors is implicated in disease progression, including BM immune microenvironment changes. Increasing evidence suggests that the disruption of immunological processes responsible for myeloma control ultimately leads to the...
