Organoids show success in predicting cancer drug response

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Organoids, particularly brain organoids, have demonstrated utility in specific scientific applications, contrary to some skepticism. A notable success is their ability to predict patient response to chemotherapy, with one study showing high accuracy in identifying non-responders for gastrointestinal cancers. This application leverages organoids' capacity to model cellular-level drug interactions. AI
