A New Era in Biocomputing: Mini Brains Power Next-Gen Computers
The science of wetware: living computers What sounds like science fiction is increasingly taking shape in laboratories around the world. Biocomputing, or the use of living tissue to perform computations, relies on tiny neural networks grown from human cells—organoid brain structures—that are interfaced with electronic sensors. Researchers refer to these systems as “wetware”: computers made…

The Silent Revolution of Patient-Derived Organoids in Oncology
The Silent Revolution: Patient-D Derived Organoids in Oncology In modern oncology, a quiet revolution is unfolding. Patient-derived organoids, or PDOs, are three-dimensional cultures grown from a patient’s tumor tissue. They faithfully mirror the architecture, cellular diversity, and functional traits of the original tumor far better than traditional two-dimensional models. By recapitulating the tumor microenvironment, PDOs…

Silent Revolution in Oncology: The Rise of Patient-Derived Organoids
Introduction A quiet revolution is reshaping cancer research: patient‑derived organoids (PDOs) are elevating the study of tumors from flat, simplified systems to dynamic, three‑dimensional models that mirror the biology of individual cancers. Organoids are tiny, self‑organizing mini-tumors grown from a patient’s tissue or stem cells. In oncology, they recapitulate the architecture, genetic diversity, and microenvironment…

Silent Revolution of Patient-Derived Organoids in Oncology
Introduction: A Silent Revolution in Cancer Research The emergence of patient-derived organoids (PDOs) has quietly transformed oncology, enabling models that closely mirror human tumors. These three-dimensional structures, established from patient tissues—spanning gastrointestinal, pulmonary, breast, and other cancers—recreate key features of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and preserve intratumoral heterogeneity. As powerful platforms for drug screening, neoantigen…
