In recent times, PDX models or patient-derived xenograft models are getting heavily utilized in head and neck oncology research, specifically for studies on radiation response and organoids. What is a Patient-Derived Xenograft? Patient-derived xenografts (PDX) are xenograft models that have been derived from patient tumor tissues but never adapted to grow like cell line-derived xenografts. Patient-derived...

How Tumor Organoid Applications Help In Cancer Research
Organoids are ex vivo model systems that revolutionized basic and translational cancer research in the domain of disease biology, since last decade. Organoid 3D cultures undergo mitogen-mediated proliferation as multicellular structures in semisolid matrices and while they possess some similarities like 3D spheroid cultures of cell lines, there are basic fundamental differences between them (Tsai...
