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…
