Recent advances in primary cell isolation, cell immortalization, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology, and three-dimensional (3D) organoid culture have substantially improved the physiological relevance and versatility of these experimental systems. However, selecting, developing, and validating appropriate in vitro models remain challenging due to differences in biological complexity, reproducibility, and functionality. In this review, we summarize the major strategies for establishing advanced in vitro cellular models, highlighting the principles underlying primary cell derivation, cell immortalization, iPSC reprogramming, and organoid generation. We further discuss critical factors that influence model development, including cell source selection, signaling pathways, microenvironmental regulation, and tissue self-organization, together with current approaches for characterization and functional validation. Finally, we examine emerging bioengineering technologies, key limitations, and future directions for developing increasingly robust, reproducible, and physiologically relevant in vitro models. This review provides a practical framework for researchers seeking to develop and apply advanced cellular model systems for basic research and translational biomedical applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cells15191741","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,24]],"date-time":"2026-09-24T08:06:37Z","timestamp":1790237197000},"page":"1741","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["From Primary Cells to Organoids: Expanding the Biological Relevance of In Vitro Cellular Models"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Fengyan","family":"Deng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Stowers Institute for Medical Research, Kansas City, MO 64110, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Stowers Institute for Medical Research, Kansas City, MO 64110, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3250-6116","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luciana A.","family":"Castellano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Stowers Institute for Medical Research, Kansas City, MO 64110, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7224-5600","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chongbei","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Stowers Institute for Medical Research, Kansas City, MO 64110, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.yexcr.2018.01.038","article-title":"An historical note on the cell theory","volume":"364","author":"Ribatti","year":"2018","journal-title":"Exp.
