Abstract
We recently established organoid models from normal and neoplastic murine and human pancreas tissues. These organoids exhibit ductal- and disease stage-specific characteristics and, after orthotopic transplantation, recapitulate the full spectrum of tumor progression. Pancreatic organoid technology provides a novel platform for the study of tumor biology and the discovery of potential biomarkers, therapeutics, and personalized medicine strategies.
