Advanced Cell Models – Multimedia

This video was captured using a microscope that enables live imaging of 3D culture inside the incubator and shows a cerebral organoid growing on laminin over a week.

This installment of Teach Me in 10 features Dr Christopher Esk, a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology in Vienna, Austria. In this episode Esk talks about the systematic analysis of human brain tissue development using cerebral organoids.

Technological advances along with developments in molecular medicine and data science have fueled the exploration of personalized medicine, as a result, several fields are already benefiting. Download this eBook to learn more about the topic.

Download this listicle to learn more about the reasons to utilize advanced cell models, how these models are developed, their available formats and the application of such models.

While methods for generating organoids are still evolving, presently they are providing exciting and more accurate systems that are advancing our understanding of basic organ biology and tissue regeneration.

The use of organoids, self-organized three-dimensional (3D) assemblies of cells, as research tools has become more common due to their ability to better recapitulate human disease compared to more traditional models.

By recreating many of the cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions found in native tissues, spheroids and organoids provide more physiologically accurate models of disease and development than traditional 2D cultures.
