The treatment of brain tumors is complex and highly heterogeneous. All stages of the disease may occur in the same injury, with the spread of transitions between regions of pathological tissue (i.e., active tumor, necrosis, and meninges). Traditional MRI methods, although able to image brain tissue noninvasively, provide clinical information on the localization and characterization of lesions. However, the current reliance on the physician's naked eye to identify tumor tissue in MRI images is time-consuming and inefficient and relies heavily on physicians experienced in diagnostic imaging. Therefore, the use of more diversified and advanced technologies to improve the efficiency of brain tumor identification and the accuracy of lesion segmentation has a high clinical application value.
To treat brain tumors, it is necessary to understand the tissue condition of brain tumors first. However, brain tissues are fragile and complex, and traditional tissue biopsy methods are not effective for brain tumors. Therefore, Alfa Oncology offers brain tumor tissue microarrays, organoids, and organ microarrays to our customers. Based on our services, we expect to provide our clients with repeated and dynamic monitoring of brain tumor changes, providing more accurate guidance for the development and updating of treatment plans for brain tumor patients.
Tissue microarray services for brain tumors
We have a standardized process and quality control system for the large-scale production of high-throughput tissue microarrays. We can effectively utilize hundreds or thousands of tissue specimens at a time, either naturally or in the pathological state of brain tumors, to help you investigate the relationship between specific genes and the proteins they express and brain tumors. This can be useful for molecular diagnosis of brain tumors, localization of prognostic indicators and therapeutic targets, and screening antibodies and drugs.
Brain tumor organoids and organ chip services
We provide organoid and organ chip services and organoid imaging services to our customers, based on our extensive experience and proven platform, aiming to closely mimic the complex structure and function of patients' brains to better show the complex pathological cellular responses and interactions. We can combine organoid culture and imaging services with live cell imaging, microfluidic microarrays, and bio-3D printing, which can provide new avenues for disease diagnosis, treatment option selection, and drug screening of brain tumors.
