Cytokines for Organoid Culture

Organoids are three-dimensional tissue structures composed of a variety of cell types. Through in vitro 3D cell culture, they can continually be expanded in vitro for a long time and retain the key characteristics of organs. It can simulate the architectural and functional characteristics of human organs and even the tumor microenvironment. With recent advancements in organoid culture and the elucidation of growth factors needed to direct cell differentiation, organoids have become an indispensable tool in the process of drug development and evaluation. Currently, most organs in the human body can be formed into organoids in vitro, reproducing the cellular milleau of liver, lung, heart, blood vessels, and many others. As such, organoids have the potential to become an essential preclinical model for human disease research and drug development.
