Patient-Derived Tumor Organoid Rings for Histologic Characterization and High-Throughput Screening

Summary: Tumor organoids are promising tools for cancer biology investigations and pre-clinical drug screenings because they are often representative of the histology and drug responses of patients. Here, we introduce a facile protocol to overcome technical limitations by generating patient-derived...

Description
Summary:Summary: Tumor organoids are promising tools for cancer biology investigations and pre-clinical drug screenings because they are often representative of the histology and drug responses of patients. Here, we introduce a facile protocol to overcome technical limitations by generating patient-derived tumor organoids using a simplified ring-like geometry. This facilitates media exchange and drug treatment for histopathology characterization and automated high-throughput drug screenings.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Phan et al. (2019).
