Liver cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, highlighting the need for innovative approaches to understand its complex biology and develop effective treatments. While traditional animal models have played a vital role in liver cancer research, ethical concerns and the demand for more human-relevant systems have driven the development of advanced models. Spheroids and organoids have emerged as powerful tools due to their ability to replicate tumor microenvironment and facilitate preclinical drug development.

Aims: CAR-T cell therapy has attracted considerable attention in recent years owing to its well-known efficacy against haematopoietic malignancies. Nevertheless, this immunotherapy fails against solid tumours due to hostile conditions found in the tumour microenvironment. In this context, many relevant biochemical factors have been thoroughly studied, but crucial mechanical cues have been underestimated.

The intestinal microenvironment represents a complex and dynamic ecosystem, comprising a diverse range of epithelial and non-epithelial cells, a protective mucus layer, and a diverse community of gut microbiota. Understanding the intricate interplay between these components is essential for uncovering the mechanisms underlying intestinal health and disease. The development of intestinal organoids, 3D mini-intestines that closely mimic the architecture, cellular diversity, and functionality of the intestine, offers a powerful platform for investigating different aspects of intestinal physiology and pathology.
