About us
Recent progress in the cell biology field is the development and application of three dimentional organoid culture of primary cells, including patient derived cancer cells.
Organoids reflects the characteristics of the original tumors much more precisely than conventional established cell lines.
In 2011, we reported the CTOS (Cancer Tissue-Originated Spheroid) method, which is one of the ealiest method for cancer organid preparation and culture, for colon cancer. Now the method is applied to the biological and the translational studies on cancers of various origins, including lung, prostate, ovary, uterus and more.
