What is the Future of Organoids in Cancer Research?
Despite these challenges, the future of organoids in cancer research is promising. Advances in technology are likely to overcome current limitations, making organoids more accessible and useful. For instance, integrating microfluidic systems with organoid cultures can better mimic the dynamic environment of living tissues. Additionally, co-culturing organoids with immune cells can provide more comprehensive models to study the interactions between cancer and the immune system. Furthermore, the development of biobanks containing a diverse array of patient-derived organoids will facilitate collaborative research and accelerate the discovery of new treatments. As our understanding of cancer biology deepens, organoids are set to play an increasingly vital role in translating basic research into clinical applications.
