Colorectal epithelium was the first long-term 3D organoid culture established in vitro. Identification of key components essential for survival stem cell niche allowed an indefinite propagation these cultures and modulation their differentiation into various lineages mature intestinal epithelial cells. While methods were eventually adapted to establish organoids from different organs, colorectal remain a pioneering model development new applications health disease. Several basic applicative aspects culture, modeling, monitoring testing are analyzed this review. We also tackle ethical problems biobanking distribution precious research tools, frequently confined laboratory origin or condemned destruction at end project.
