The aim of the proposed study is to establish a novel and reliable in vivo tumor model by engineering a breast tumor in the arteriovenous rat model. This model could provide the possibility to investigate tumor development, angiogenesis and tumor-stroma interactions in a controlled manner. Selecting appropriate scaffolds for the tumor cells is essential for the success of the model. Therefore, the study includes 3 parts to provide a structured detection of suitable matrices in vitro and in vivo.
