Inkjet Printing of Tumors

Cih’s paper on inkjet printing of tumoroids with tumor-stroma interface is published on the Journal Materials Today Advances. In this work, Cih developed a new 3D printing method, named as “morphogenetic printing”, to rapidly produce tumoroids with extremely high cell density. Inkjet-printed morphogenesis of tumor-stroma interface using bi-cellular bioinks of collagen-poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide-co-methyl methacrylate) mixture Abstract …

Drug discovery for pancreatic cancer: Ref-1 redox activity

A collaborative paper with groups at Indiana University Medical School and Harvard Medical School is published in the Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research. This paper regards drug discovery for pancreatic cancer focusing on a protein called Ref-1. Ref-1 redox activity alters cancer cell metabolism in pancreatic cancer: exploiting this novel finding as a …

Pancreatic Cancer Model with Intra-Tumoral Heterogeneity

Our work on pancreatic cancer model with heterogenous cancer cell population is published in the Journal Lab on a Chip. An engineered pancreatic cancer model with intra-tumoral heterogeneity of driver mutations Hye-ran Moon, Altug Ozcelikkale, Yi Yang, Bennett D. Elzey, Stephen F. Konieczny and Bumsoo Han Abstract: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a complex disease …

Tumor Model of Heterogeneous Pancreatic Cancer

Mike and Stephanie’s work regarding PDAC tumor model is published at the Journal “Small.”  This paper aims to create an in vitro tumor model reconstituting intratumoral heterogeneity of human pancreatic cancer. This work is based on collaboration with Professor Konieczny’s group in the Department of Biological Science at Purdue.     A Biomimetic Tumor Model of …
