patient-derived organoids

Patient-derived organoids are tiny, simplified versions of real human organs grown in a lab from a patient’s own cells. These three-dimensional structures mimic key features of the original organ’s biology and function. Researchers use organoids to study diseases, develop personalized treatments, and test how different drugs might work for an individual. Because they come from a patient’s cells, organoids provide a more accurate model than traditional cell cultures, helping advance precision medicine while reducing the need for animal testing.
