Gene knock-in is a widely used technique in biomedical research, involving the integration or replacement of exogenous functional genes into specific genomic loci, allowing for stable expression within cells. This powerful method has extensive applications in elucidating gene function, disease modeling, and drug screening. While various knock-in technologies have been proficiently applied in cell and animal models, these knock-in models have limitations in accurately reflecting the physiological phenomena of tissues and organs in vivo. The advancement of human biology research necessitates the establishment of new model systems to provide robust tools for investigation.
Excitingly, organoids have emerged as a significant development in biomedical research. Creative Biolabs combines gene knock-in technology with organoid construction to offer knock-in organoid model construction and research services for target analysis, catering to the needs of customers in target research.
Organoid Advantages | |
Highly similar physiological systems | Scalable culture capability |
Organoid models, constructed from stem cells or organ progenitor cells, can differentiate, and self-organize to resemble specific functions and structures of human organs, providing highly similar physiological systems. | Organoid models exhibit genomic stability during long-term in vitro expansion. Furthermore, advancements in organoid culture techniques enable the formation of living biobanks for high-throughput screening. |
Knock-in Organoid Model Advantages | |
Stable expression of acquired genes | Highly faithful regulatory networks of acquired genes |
The combination of gene editing technology and organoid culture enables the precise integration of exogenous target genes into organoids, achieving their stable expression. | Knock-in organoid models provide a simulation closer to the real physiological environment, allowing exploration of the mechanisms of target genes in cellular signaling, metabolic regulation, growth, and development processes. |
Knock-in organoid models can be used to evaluate the function and interactions of target genes, uncovering the mechanisms underlying related diseases and potential therapeutic targets.
Knock-in organoid models can be employed for target validation and screening of drugs, assessing the impact of drugs on targets at the tissue level.
