Innovative Xeno-Free Synthetic Hydrogel Supports iPSC-derived Intestinal Organoids and Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Organoid Growth

Poster summarizing a xeno-free synthetic hydrogel platform for iPSC-derived intestinal organoids, with methods and results sections for therapeutic screening.

Abstract: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States of America. Organoids, specifically CRC organoids have emerged as a powerful preclinical model as they closely recapitulate patient-specific tumor features, including tumor morphology, genetics, and treatment response. However, most organoid culture systems […]

Modeling Breast Density with Synthetic Hydrogel Reveals New Pathway for Cancer Prevention

VitroGel® enables precise modeling of breast tissue stiffness to study how anti-progestin therapy suppresses cancer cells. Breast cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related death in women worldwide. A key risk factor in breast cancer development is partly attributed to high mammographic density, which is not only visible on mammograms but is also driven by […]
