Bacterial colonized melanoma skin models allow to study host–microbe interactions in situ
This study is the first to demonstrate the feasibility of using 3D melanoma models to investigate the impact of skin bacteria on melanoma biology, thereby paving the way for elucidating causal mechanisms <i>in situ</i>.
