pancreas organoids

Pancreas organoids are tiny, lab-grown versions of the pancreas that mimic its structure and function. They are created from stem cells or tissue samples and can develop into three-dimensional clusters resembling the actual organ. These organoids are valuable for studying how the pancreas works, understanding diseases like diabetes and pancreatic cancer, and testing new treatments in a controlled environment. Because they replicate the real organ closely, they help scientists learn more about pancreatic biology and develop potential therapies more effectively and ethically, reducing the need for animal testing.
