Heading 2
To maximise effects and lower costs for both new and existing treatments, Personalised Medicine is receiving a lot of attention in drug development today. So far, drugs have often been approved based on their safety and effectiveness in a variety of patients. The goal of Personalised Medicine is to create patient-tailored treatment plans by accounting for individual variability in medication response. It is the antithesis of the 'one drug fits all' approach. Particularly, with regard to ex vivo treatment response prediction and associated medication dose optimisation, patient- and disease-specific drug testing systems based on current advancements in stem cell, organoid, and organ-on-a-chip technology would deliver great value. In this report, we are focusing on 3D human (multi)cellular assays, including organoids and organ-on-a-chip models, as well as on technologies that can potentially be used for their development, which include microfluidics and lab automation.
Benefits of in Vitro Models: Biological Reason
The immensely complex processes of the human body cannot be accurately modeled by in vivo animal models, and there is growing concern regarding the morality of animal research. A system like an in vitro 2D cell culture model is frequently employed since it is reasonably priced, simple to use, and capable of gathering a lot of reference data. These models, however, are devoid of an actual extracellular physiological context.
Organoids and organ-on-a-chip technologies have enormous advantages compared to 2D cultures and animal models, which make them a practical platform for different experiments, modeling diseases, and high-throughput screening. In a culture dish, patient-derived organoids can serve as models of human disease. The development of numerous organoids and organ-on-a-chip for drug screening and testing has increased international competition for patents.
