General description
Colorectal cancer accounts for roughly 10% of all cancer cases worldwide with more than half of all patients with CRC developing metastatic disease leading to death. Recently, tissue derived organoids have emerged as a more predictive 3 dimensional cell culture model of disease. 3D organoid cultures conserve the original genetic and phenotypic characteristics of the primary tissue allowing for their application in many research fields included drug development, personalized medicine and potential therapeutics. In vitro cultured tumor organoids have also been shown to predict patient response to chemotherapeutics. PDOs derived from colorectal cancer (CRC organoids) have been used for cell modeling and to investigate the function of cancer related driver gene mutations including APC, TP53, KRAS, BRAF, PIK3CA etc.
We are now offering a comprehensive biobank of highly characterized tissue-derived human gastrointestinal organoids from normal and diseased patients. The intestinal organoid biobank contains over 50 highly characterized intestinal organoids from both normal and diseased patients derived from multiple regions of the digestive systems including small intestine (duodenum, ileum), stomach, rectum and colon.
