4D Printing to fabricate an in vitro model of the pancreatic acino ductal unit

Description

This project aims at reproducing the morphology and the composition of the pancreatic acino-ductal unit. More specifically, this work involves the use of a 4D printing system that combines melt electrospinning technology with an automatized layer-by-layer surface functionalization which provides biological cues to the surface of the melt electrospun structure. This 3D exocrine glandular tissue model mimics in vitro the physiological structure experienced by cells in vivo and serves as a powerful tool to investigate pathological processes such as the Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC)
