Organoids are three-dimensional cell cultures that more accurately model cell behavior, organ function, and pathology than traditional two-dimensional cell culture. Organoid News was launched in 2020 to help scientists stay up-to-date with this revolutionary new research system. Use Organoid News to stay current with the latest applications and discoveries using organoids, as well as new reviews, jobs, news, and upcoming events.

Enhanced Anti-Cancer Activity of Andrographis with Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins through Activation of Metabolic and Ferroptosis Pathways in Colorectal Cancer

Scientists demonstrated the enhanced anti-cancer activity between two botanical extracts in terms of their ability to inhibit cancer cell growth, suppress colony formation and induce apoptosis. They validated these findings in subcutaneous xenograft models and in patient derived primary epithelial 3D organoids.
