Research summary
The research question/objective is to establish proof of concept for cancer models and to check whether 3D bioprinting of living cancer cells will help maintain viability, stability and functionality of these cells. We also want to know if compared to traditional cell lines, 2D and 3D methods and animal models, our 3D bioprinted models mimic the cancer environment with accuracy of about 90% and perform in a superior manner.
