Using 3-D Organoids to Answer Questions About Human Health from thescientistllc on Vimeo.
Studying layers of cells grown on flat surfaces leaves a lot to be desired, as cellular responses and gene expression change when cells are not in their native, 3-D arrangements. Researchers develop organoids from primary cell lines or stem cells, and these structures are similar in architecture to primary tissue, which makes them relevant models of in vivo conditions. Scientists use organoids to study many areas of human biology, including toxicology, infection, and cancer. Join this webinar, brought to you by The Scientist, to hear how researchers use human cerebral and tumor-derived organoids to better mimic the state of living tissue for drug development and infection studies.
