Miniature Organs
Miniature organs, also known as organoids, are small, simplified versions of human organs grown in laboratories from stem cells. They mimic key structures and functions of real organs, allowing scientists to study how organs develop, how diseases occur, and how new medications might work. These lab-grown models provide a powerful tool for research without needing to experiment directly on humans, leading to better understanding of health and disease, and advancing personalized medicine. They are contagious to various organs like the brain, liver, or intestine, with each miniature organ tailored to its specific function.
