Lab-grown mini-tumours usually contain only cancer cells. Adding the patient's own immune cells lets researchers test immunotherapy outside the body.
Air-liquid interface organoids and reconstituted co-cultures preserve or restore tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes and myeloid cells, and have been used to model checkpoint blockade responses and to expand tumour-reactive T cells. Standardising these systems, including autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cell co-cultures with defined killing readouts, would give an ex vivo assay for immunotherapy and cell therapy that plain organoids cannot provide.
