Tumor organoids – a new dimension in cancer research

Tumor organoids offer a more accurate representation of the 3D tumor microenvironment, opening new avenues for cancer research and personalized medicine. However, establishing and maintaining tumor organoids can be more challenging than working with 2D cell cultures.

In our In Focus feature on BioTechniques, we discuss best practices, optimized culture media, and appropriate growth conditions for culturing tumor organoids. We also explore current and future applications of tumor organoids in cancer research.

Expert interview

BioTechniques interviewed our experts, Janina Moros, Dr. Alexander Trampe, and Dr. Zinnia Noor, about the key advantages of tumor organoids and the best methods for establishing tumor organoids from patient-derived samples. Our experts discussed considerations regarding optimal culture media and growth conditions, and how to overcome challenges associated with culturing tumor organoids. They also shared their insights into the current and future applications of tumor organoids in cancer research and the development of novel therapies.
