ORGANOCAN : UROsphere collaborative project.

Colorectal cancers and those of the urological sphere (prostate and bladder) are among the five most common cancers. A chronic inflammatory condition predisposes to the appearance of some of these cancers (colon, prostate). Today, the available experimental models poorly simulate the biological reality and function of the body, which makes it particularly difficult to develop new drugs. The objective of the Organocan 2 project is to develop cell models in 3-dimensional (organoid) of colon,...
