Organoids: The Future in Biotechnology Industry

Organoids are tiny, self-organized, three-dimensional tissue cultures that are derived from stem cells. Such cultures can be crafted to replicate much of the complexity of an organ or to express selected aspects of it, like producing only certain types of cells. Organoids grow from stem cells—cells that can divide indefinitely and produce different types of cells as part of their progeny. Organoids can range in size from less than the width of a hair to five millimeters.
