Human organoids
Human organoids are tiny, three-dimensional structures grown in the lab from stem cells that mimic key features of real organs like the brain, liver, or intestines. They develop with specialized cells organized similarly to the full-sized organs, allowing scientists to study organ development, disease mechanisms, and test treatments in a controlled environment. Unlike traditional cell cultures, organoids better represent the complexity of human organs, making them valuable tools for medical research, personalized medicine, and drug discovery without the need for invasive procedures.
