BETWEEN THE FRYING PAN AND THE FIRE – A CRITICAL LOOK AT PATIENT-DERIVED ORGANOIDS AND IMMORTAL CELL LINES
Is it time to jump? Cell lines are inexpensive, easy to handle and reproducible. For that reason they have been widely used for understanding the molecular basis of cancer and for drug screening. But maybe, now is the time to transfer to Patient-derived organoids?

Cell Culture History
Cell culture basically consists of providing cells isolated from an organism with conditions to keep them alive and make them proliferate. Initially, this was done by growing the cells on flat surfaces (2D) but with the realization that their performance is limited, the focus has now shifted to growing them as clusters (organoids or spheroids) where they more closely mimic what occurs in vivo.
