Abstract
An extrudable hydrogel composition useful for making a three-dimensional organ construct is described herein. Methods of using the same and products so made are also described. Also described herein is a multicellular organoid including at least two tumor cells or cell lines that are of the same tissue type, but are distinct from one another (e.g., distinct in morphology, growth rate, and/or at least one mutation); and at least one type of non-cancerous (i.e., normal or differentiated) tissue cells, wherein the at least one type of non-cancerous tissue cells are of the same tissue type as the at least two tumor cells or cell lines. In some embodiments, the at least two tumor cells or cell lines and/or the non-cancerous tissue cells are labeled with and/or comprise a detectable compound, optionally so that each of the different cells can be distinguished from each other (e.g., optically and/or electrically distinguished).
