  • Macrotumor engineering
    Patent number: 12006509
    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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 9, 2020
    Date of Patent: June 11, 2024
    Assignee: Purdue Research Foundation
    Inventors: Sophie Andree Lelievre, Rahim Rahimi, Tim Kwok
