The development of in vitro organotypic 3D vulvar models to study tumor-stroma interaction and drug efficacy

We successfully developed in vitro 3D vulvar models mimicking both healthy and tumorous conditions which serve as a promising tool for vulvar drug screening programs. Moreover, healthy fibroblasts demonstrate heterogeneity in terms of CAF-activation in VSCC TME which brings insights in the future development of novel CAF-based therapeutic strategies in VSCC.
