Creative Biolabs is pioneering a dual-model approach in in vitro modeling, combining 3D organoid and precision-cut tissue slice (PCTS) models to advance precision medicine research. This innovative strategy addresses the limitations of traditional models by offering more physiologically relevant and translatable data, crucial for drug development and disease understanding.
3D organoid models, derived from stem cells or patient tumor tissues, provide mini organs with defined structures and functions, surpassing the capabilities of 2D cell cultures. These models, especially those derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), are invaluable for disease modeling and targeted drug testing due to their ability to mimic patient-specific genetic backgrounds. Creative Biolabs offers a variety of organoid models, including 3D tumor organoid models for drug sensitivity assessment and customized models developed from client-provided cells.
However, organoids are not a panacea. For short-term effects and structure-dependent responses, PCTS models are indispensable. These models preserve the anatomical architecture and cellular activity of fresh tissues, offering an ex vivo platform that closely resembles in vivo conditions. Creative Biolabs provides PCTS models for key organs, enabling early drug screening for efficacy and toxicity.
The integration of organoid and PCTS models by Creative Biolabs represents a significant leap forward in precision medicine. This dual-model approach not only enhances the efficiency of model development but also bridges the gap between experimental data and clinical realities, marking a pivotal shift towards human-relevant models in biomedical research.
