In this issue of , Driehuis and colleagues establish culture conditions for the rapid, efficient, and long-term expansion of healthy human oral mucosa and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) tumor organoids. The HNSCC tumor organoids provide a functional platform for analyzing tumor cell phenotype, tumorigenic potential, and drug and radiotherapy response, and they have a potential role in clinical decision-making..
本期 中,Driehuis 及其同事为快速、高效、长期扩增健康人口腔黏膜和头颈部鳞状细胞癌(HNSCC)肿瘤类器官建立了培养条件。HNSCC 肿瘤类器官为分析肿瘤细胞表型、致瘤潜能、药物和放疗反应提供了一个功能平台,它们在临床决策中有潜在的作用。
