About

Biomaterial-based cell culture models have been gaining increasing attention as potential therapeutic strategies. The purpose of this project is to evaluate whether the cell detachment ratio on pH-responsive chitosan could be correlated with the overall survival in lung cancer patients. Through controllable cell-material interaction, this project has the intention to develop an alternative tool for both early diagnosis and accurate prognosis in cancer therapeutics.
