  • Patent number: 10940475
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a cell culture device and its applications of creating gradient of chemicals or gradient of cells to mimic the in vivo physiological conditions of homeostasis.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 29, 2018
    Date of Patent: March 9, 2021
    Assignee: Purdue Research Foundation
    Inventors: Sophie Andree Lelièvre, Babak Ziaie, Manuel P. Ochoa, Rahim Rahimi, Farzaneh Atrian, Shirisha Chittiboyina
  • Publication number: 20200399589
    Abstract: A collagen-fibronectin-based method enables the production of tumors of centimeter size with recognizable pathological traits. The method supports reproducing tumor heterogeneity with preinvasive and invasive phenotypes and stacking of tumor portions using a paper-scaffold with 80 ?m-punched holes for larger nodule creation and easy separation of tumor portions for analysis. Macrotumors are convenient for testing drug delivery and therapeutic tools that necessitate a minimum tumor size relevant to in vivo.
