Organoids grown in laboratories are three-dimensional, miniature structures that mimic the architecture and functionality of real organs. These organoids are typically derived from stem cells, either pluripotent stem cells, which can develop into any cell type, or adult stem cells, confined to specific tissues. Through techniques that replicate natural developmental processes, researchers can induce these stem cells to self-organize and form complex tissues resembling organs such as the brain, kidney, liver, or intestines.
The process of growing organoids involves cultivating stem cells in specialized environments that supply the necessary
Compared to traditional models, organoids offer a more accurate representation of human physiology, offering potential benefits
Challenges in organoid research include limited size, lack of full vascularization (blood vessel integration), and incomplete
Overall, laboratory-grown organoids represent a significant breakthrough in biomedical research, providing more representative models for understanding
