Retaining cell–cell contact enables preparation and culture of spheroids composed of pure primary cancer cells from colorectal cancer

Abstract excerpt

Primary culture of the cancer cells from patients' tumors can provide crucial information of individual tumors, yet the technology has not been optimized until now. We developed an innovative culture method for primary colorectal cancer cells, based on the principle that cell-cell contact of cancer cells was maintained throughout the process. When tumor tissue was dissociated into cell clusters, in which...
