“…4. Optimization of novel ex vivo 3D murine lymphoma modelsTumor microenvironment (TME) plays an essential role in the progression and response of DLBCL to immunotherapy, and using targeted inhibitors, as we show here for venetoclax, may cooperate with standard therapies to reinvigorate tumor-infiltrating T-cells, promoting long-term tumor control and improving overall survival Kohlhapp et al, 2020;Melchor et al, 2023). However, characterizing TME responses to immunotherapy combinations mostly relays on using in vivo studies with immunocompetent animal models, as alternative in vitro models recapitulating the complex interactions between tumor cells and TME are still under development.…”
