Perfusion-compatible culture medium for viable pancreatic cancer tissue avatars

A physiologically relevant culture medium designed to maintain the viability, structure, immune composition, and functional characteristics of pancreatic tissue and tumour slices during extended ex vivo culture. Optimised for perfusion systems, it supports patient-derived tumour avatar models used for therapeutic evaluation, biomarker discovery, live tissue imaging, and personalised treatment selection.

Applications: Patient-derived avatars, precision oncology testing, drug response profiling, tumour microenvironment research, spatial transcriptomics studies, immunotherapy evaluation, live tissue imaging
