AB091. Establishment and application of brainstem glioma organoids

Traditional preclinical experiments on brainstem gliomas mainly rely on patient-derived primary cell lines, but there are problems such as low success rate in establishment and inability to preserve tumor heterogeneity, which limit the clinical transformation. As a new type of in vitro tumor model, organoids have similar structure and function to the original tumor, requiring less tissue for cultivation, with short cycle and high success rate, which is particularly suitable for brainstem glioma biopsy. There is currently no precedent for the successful construction of brainstem glioma organoid models. This new established organoid provides us a more robust preclinical tool for comprehending the pathogenesis and conducting drug screening for this kind of disease.
