Organoids for the Study of Liver Cancer

Abstract excerpt

Liver cancer is the second most lethal malignancy worldwide. Cell lines and murine models are the most common tools for modeling human liver carcinogenesis. Most recently, organoids with a three-dimensional structure derived from primary tissues or cells have been applied to liver cancer research. Organoids can be generated from induced pluripotent stem cells, embryonic or adult, healthy or diseased tissues. In...
