organoids

Organoids are tiny, simplified versions of organs created in a lab from stem cells. These miniaturized structures mimic the organization and function of real organs, such as the brain, liver, or intestines. Researchers use organoids to study diseases, test drugs, and understand how organs develop without needing to use actual human tissue. Because they can replicate some of the complexity of real organs, organoids are valuable for medical research and have the potential to improve treatments and regenerative medicine.
