Abstract
Despite advances in therapeutic regimens, Pancreatic Cancer (PC) still remains an aggressive malignancy characterized by high treatment resistance, mortality, and poor clinical outcome. Hence, there is an urgent need for more effective therapeutic methods to improve the survival of PC patients. Currently, organoid culture systems have emerged as a preclinical research model for studying cancer progression, biology, and treatment responses, bridging the translational gap between in vivo and in vitro models. This review summarized the common culture systems of PC organoids, paving the way for precision medicine in PC.
期刊介绍:
Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry is a forum for the review of areas of keen and topical interest to medicinal chemists and others in the allied disciplines. Each issue is solely devoted to a specific topic, containing six to nine reviews, which provide the reader a comprehensive survey of that area. A Guest Editor who is an expert in the topic under review, will assemble each issue. The scope of Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry will cover all areas of medicinal chemistry, including current developments in rational drug design, synthetic chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, high-throughput screening, combinatorial chemistry, compound diversity measurements, drug absorption, drug distribution, metabolism, new and emerging drug targets, natural products, pharmacogenomics, and structure-activity relationships. Medicinal chemistry is a rapidly maturing discipline. The study of how structure and function are related is absolutely essential to understanding the molecular basis of life. Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry aims to contribute to the growth of scientific knowledge and insight, and facilitate the discovery and development of new therapeutic agents to treat debilitating human disorders. The journal is essential for every medicinal chemist who wishes to be kept informed and up-to-date with the latest and most important advances.
