Gene therapy has become a revolutionary treatment strategy for the treatment of hereditary diseases, malignancies and complicated disorders to achieve precise genetic modification, gene replacement or gene silence. However, successful translation of gene therapy requires physiologically realistic pre-clinical models, which can reliably predict vector tropism, delivery efficiency, transgene expression, safety and long-term therapeutic benefits. Traditional 2D cultures and animal models generally fail to recapitulate the human tissue architecture, cellular diversity, and species-specific responses to viral and non-viral delivery mechanisms.
Organoid and organ-on-a-chip technologies serve as sophisticated, human-relevant platforms for gene therapy research and development. Patient-derived organoids maintain native tissue complexity, disease-associated phenotypes, and clinically relevant genetic backgrounds, whereas organ-on-a-chip systems use dynamic perfusion, tissue-tissue interactions, and biomechanical cues to better mimic in vivo microenvironments. Collectively, these technologies support better predictive assessment of vector delivery, genome editing efficiency, therapeutic efficacy, biodistribution, and safety profiles across various kinds of therapeutic applications.
Comparison of Gene Therapy Research Models
| Model Type | Human Relevance | Vector Evaluation | Throughput | Physiological Relevance |
| 2D Cell Culture | Moderate | Basic transduction assessment | Very High | Low; lacks tissue architecture and multicellular complexity. |
| Animal Models | Limited (Species differences) | In vivo biodistribution studies | Low | Moderate; limited prediction of human-specific responses. |
| Primary Cell Models | High | Useful for short-term validation | Medium | Limited lifespan and donor variability. |
| Disease Organoids | Highest | Excellent for patient-specific transduction and editing studies | High | Recapitulates native tissue organization and disease phenotypes. |
| Organ-on-a-Chip | Highest | Dynamic delivery and tissue interaction studies | Medium | Incorporates perfusion, barrier function, and mechanical stimulation. |
