Abstract
Methods of generating organoids on multi-well plates are provided by depositing a polymeric solution comprising cells under conditions which result in a homogenous population of organoids, which can be used for high throughput analysis for drug screening and for determining treatment regimens of a drug.
Claims10
A method of determining a toxicity of a pharmaceutically active agent to be administered to a human subject for a pre-selected exposure time for treating a disease or condition, the method comprising:
- incubating a plurality of human organoids in culture with a respective plurality of different concentrations of said agent, wherein said plurality of human organoids comprise less than 20% variability in size, number of cells or both;
- measuring function of said organoids at a time point, thereby providing a plurality of organoid-function values, one for each of said concentrations, wherein a time-period from a beginning of said incubation to said time point corresponds to said pre-selected exposure time of said subject to the agent;
- fitting said plurality of organoid-function values to an S-shaped curve;
- and
- extracting from said S-shaped curve a predicted toxicity value of the agent for said pre-selected exposure time.
