title: Gotta catch 'em all: the microscale quest to understand cancer biology.
abstract: Developing an improved understanding of the processes that drive cancer initiation and progression has been the focus of intense research in recent years. Here, we highlight recent advances in the innovative use of microscale engineered technologies to gain new insight into the integrative biophysical mechanisms that drive these processes.
