Invasion of Heterogeneous Breast Cancer Spheroids in Collagen Matrices
An in Vitro Study to Explore the Impact of ECM Porosity and Source on Heterogeneous Tumor Spheroid Invasion
Triple Negative Breast Cancers (TNBCs) account for 20% of breast cancer cases and are characterized by poor prognosis and limited treatment options. The Tumor Microenvironment (TME), particularly the collagen-rich Extracellular Matrix (ECM), plays a critical role in TNBCs progres

Multi-material 4D-printing of a Magneto-responsive Hydrogel Scaffold with Tuned Stiffness
An approach to locally stimulate a hydrogel scaffold using uniaxial static magnetic fields
The physical, chemical, and biological versatility and high water content of hydrogels have been taken advantage of to fabricate hydrogels that mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) structure of native tissues and applied in the field of cell and tissue engineering to provide the
...
The human body is a construction site brimming with internal processes that steer our senses, heal our wounds and make us age. If tissues and organs are scaffolds, then cells are the bricks. Sticking to each other, these minuscule "water balloon-esque" containers filled with prot

Delivery of biomolecules using pulsed electric fields or electrotransfer has applications such as biomedical engineering, bioprocess engineering and genomic engineering. When a cell is placed in an electric field, the induced transmembrane voltage catalyzes the formation of pores

Polymer flooding is a commercially viable chemical enhanced oil recovery (cEOR) method. It includes the injection of water-soluble polymers into a reservoir to improve the drive water viscosity and consequently to increase the sweep and displacement efficiency of the water. Despi

Electroporation is a popular technique to permeabilize the membrane for different purposes such as medical treatments, food processing and biomass processing. In this thesis, we use the bottom-up approach to unravel the role of specific cellular components in the electroporati
