NoviSight™ Demonstration: 3D Image Analysis and Statistical Software for Organoids and Spheroids
Tuesday, 7 September, 2021
Experts
Three-dimensional cell culture models such as patient-derived organoids (PDO) and spheroids have increased in popularity because they can provide a 3D microenvironment that more closely reproduces in vivo conditions compared to 2D monolayer culture. Phenotypic and functional heterogeneity arise among cancer cells within the same tumor because of genetic change, environmental differences and reversible changes in cell properties. Therefore, evaluation of cell-specific responses is important for accurate prediction of drug efficacy and kinetics in vivo.
Three-Dimensional High-Throughput Image Analysis of Patient-Derived Organoids and Spheroids

Organoids and spheroids can more faithfully reproduce in vivo conditions, and imaging-based analysis can monitor cell-specific responses with high spatial resolution. Therefore, we have been developing imaging-based three-dimensional analysis and drug evaluation methods using patient-derived cancer organoids and spheroids.
