In article number 1807553 , Hong Nam Kim, Elizabeth A. Lipke, Deok‐Ho Kim, and co‐workers describe recent advances in in vitro tumor models that can mimic the physical and biochemical features of the native tumor microenvironment. These microphysiological systems that reflect the physiology of the tumor microenvironment allow for the study of the mechanisms underlying tumor biology and the reliable prediction of anticancer drug efficiency.
