Spheroids and organoids are important novel players in medical life science research. They gradually replacing two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures. Indeed, three-dimensional (3D) cultures closer to the vivo reality open promising perspectives for academic research, drug screening, personalized medicine. A large variety of cells tissues, including tumor cells, can be starting material generation 3D cultures, primary stem or lines. panoply methods has been developed generate structures, spontaneous forced aggregation, air–liquid interface conditions, low attachment supports, magnetic levitation, scaffold-based technologies. The choice most appropriate method depends on (i) origin tissue, (ii) presence absence a disease, (iii) intended application. This review summarizes approaches cancer spheroids organoids, their advantages limitations. We also highlight some challenges unresolved issues field discuss possible therapeutic applications.

Abstract The biofabrication of three-dimensional (3D) tissues that recapitulate organ-specific architecture and function would benefit from temporal spatial control cell-cell interactions. Bioprinting, while potentially capable achieving such control, is poorly suited to organoids with conserved cytoarchitectures are susceptible plastic deformation. Here, we develop a platform, termed Spatially Patterned Organoid Transfer (SPOT), consisting an iron-oxide nanoparticle laden hydrogel magnetized 3D printer enable the controlled lifting, transport, deposition organoids. We identify cellulose nanofibers as both ideal biomaterial for encasing magnetic nanoparticles shear-thinning, self-healing support maintaining positioning facilitate generation assembloids. leverage SPOT create precisely arranged assembloids composed human pluripotent stem cell-derived neural patient-derived glioma In doing so, demonstrate potential platform construct which key developmental processes disease etiologies.

Organoids are in vitro model systems that mimic the complexity of organs with multicellular structures and functions, which provide great potential for biomedical tissue engineering. However, their current formation heavily relies on using complex animal-derived extracellular matrices (ECM), such as Matrigel. These often poorly defined chemical components exhibit limited tunability reproducibility. Recently, biochemical biophysical properties hydrogels can be precisely tuned, offering broader opportunities to support development maturation organoids. In this review, fundamental ECM vivo critical strategies design organoid culture summarized. Two typically derived from natural synthetic polymers applicability improve organoids presented. The representative applications incorporating into highlighted. Finally, some challenges future perspectives also discussed developing advanced technologies toward supporting research.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have emerged as a revolutionary therapeutic class, combining the precise targeting ability of monoclonal antibodies with potent cytotoxic effects chemotherapeutics. Notably, ADCs rapidly advanced in field breast cancer treatment. This innovative approach holds promise for strengthening immune system through antibody-mediated cellular toxicity, tumor-specific immunity, and adaptive responses. However, development upfront acquired resistance poses substantial challenges maximizing effectiveness these therapeutics, necessitating deeper understanding underlying mechanisms. These mechanisms include antigen loss, derangements ADC internalization recycling, drug clearance, alterations signaling pathways payload target. To overcome resistance, ongoing research efforts are focused on urgently identifying biomarkers, integrating therapy approaches, designing novel payloads.
