hPSC models in cancer mechanisms and therapeutic discovery.

Despite major advances in cancer genomics and immunotherapy, the field remains limited by experimental models that fail to faithfully recapitulate human tumor initiation, genetic context, and immune-tumor interactions. Traditional animal and immortalized cell models often lack predictive power for therapeutic response...

Multi-omics limitations in patient-derived cancer organoids: molecular origins and strategies for mitigation

Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) are widely used platforms for cancer modeling and precision oncology because they preserve patient-specific genetic backgrounds, recapitulate aspects of native tissue architecture, and allow long-term expansion, repeated functional interrogation, and drug screening. Accordingly, multi-o...

Spatial Heterogeneity in Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma: Mechanistic Insights and Clinical Translation through Single-Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics.

Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a highly lethal malignancy whose therapeutic resistance is driven by profound intra-tumor heterogeneity and a complex tumor microenvironment. This review synthesizes how single-cell and spatial transcriptomic technologies are transforming our understanding of ATC by systematically...

The impact of intratumor heterogeneity on outcome and resistance to therapy in primary breast cancer: a systematic review

Intratumor heterogeneity (ITH), the coexistence of diverse subclones within a single tumor, may pose a major challenge to effective chemotherapy in breast cancer. This cellular diversity contributes to treatment failure, residual disease, and early relapse by enabling tumor adaptation and therapeutic resistance. Althou...
