  • Process for printing 3D tissue culture models
    Patent number: 10676712
    Abstract: A process for producing a 3D tissue culture model by (a) printing a drop of bio-ink to a substrate; (b) printing a drop of activator to the drop of bio-ink to form a hydrogel droplet; (c) repeating steps (a) and (b) in any order to form a hydrogel mold adapted to receive a drop containing cells; (d) printing a drop containing cells to the hydrogel mold; and (e) repeating steps (a) and (b) in any order to form a 3D tissue culture model comprising the cells encapsulated in the hydrogel mold.

  • METHODS FOR DETECTING AND MODULATING THE SENSITIVITY OF TUMOR CELLS TO ANTI-MITOTIC AGENTS AND FOR MODULATING TUMORIGENICITY
    Publication number: 20160175339
    Abstract: Provided herein is a method of screening a tumour cell for resistance to a tubulin-binding agent, the method comprising detecting the expression of any one or more of class II, class III and class IVb ?-tubulin by the tumour cell, wherein the expression of any one or more of class II, class III and class IVb ?-tubulin indicates that the tumour cell has resistance or potential resistance to the tubulin-binding agent. Also provided are methods of modulating the sensitivity of a tumour cell Also provided is a method of modulating the tumorigenesis of a tumour cell.
