3D printed scaffolds to optimise breast cancer stem cell culture
2016
University of Girona, Girona, Spain
With the use of a RepRap BCN3D+ 3D printer, the researchers printed different scaffolds using poly(ε-caprolactone) to optimise human breast cancer stem cell culture. Compared to 2D monolayer culture, with the optimal printing configuration, these scaffolds allowed for a 3D culture that induced a higher mammosphere forming index, showing enrichment of human breast cancer stem cells in the cultures. This new setup could be a good method to obtain enriched breast cancer stem cell cultures.
