3D Bio-Printed HNSCC (Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma) in vitro model for biomedical applications

The tumor microenvironment (TME) greatly influences the proliferation and progression of HNSCC. Hence, an in depth understanding of the in vivo TME is crucial and recapitulating in vivo like pathophysiology in vitro, still remains a challenge. 3D bioprinted models are increasingly researched on due to their ability to precisely replicate the tumor cellular organization as seen in vivo. This project attempts to replicate the HNSCC TME in vitro via 3D bio printing technique.
