Patient-Derived Organoid (PDO) Model

Creative Biolabs is a reliable and reputable biological company committed to providing high-quality products and services for global customers. Our patient-derived organoid (PDO) models are highly customizable to meet your pluralistic requirements, enabling the rapid progress of your preclinical drug discovery projects.

Overview of PDO Models

The PDO model is a miniature 3D tumor cell model cultured in the laboratory, which is isolated from the primary tumor. First of all, the tumor tissue was obtained from the patient's body, cleaned to prevent pollution, and isolated tumor cells. Then, select the appropriate biological material as the 3D culture matrix, and establish the model by simulating the matrix environment of tumor cells. At last, the PDO in vitro model is constructed successfully.

Advantages of PDO Models

Compared with classic 2D culture models, the PDO in vitro models have unique advantages in some aspects.

  • The cost is low, and the culture cycle is short.
  • PDOs can still keep genome stability after multiple times of passages.
  • The basic features obtained from the in situ tumor tissue are never lost, such as histological, biological, and morphological features and genetic heterogeneity.
  • PDO models don’t change their original tumors' genomic and transcriptomic features. Genomic alterations still exist even after undergoing culturing for a few months subsequently.
  • PDOs can also be expanded for a long time in vitro but can still keep genome stability, so be suitable for high-through drug screening.

Applications of PDO Models

In new drug development, PDO models have a broad range of applications in the drug development area. PDO models can be used as the optimal in vitro experimental model, shorten the period between the test and clinical trial, reduce drug development costs and risks, provide large amounts of biological data support, to provide a superior platform for new drug research and development.
