Abstract
Methods are provided for producing novel multicellular compositions comprising cancer cells together with pluripotent human stem cells, which are capable of proliferating and differentiating into various normal cell lines and tissue structures. These novel multicellular compositions are useful for investigating the properties of cancer cells in a normal human tissue microenvironment, and for studying interventions that will modulate these properties including devising, testing and screening therapeutic drugs.
