Organoid
Technology
8Organoids are miniaturized and simplified versions of
organs grown in vitro from stem cells . They offer a platform for drug testing , disease modeling , and personalized medicine .
How does Organoid Technology work ?
BioTech
Organoids are created by culturing stem cells or tissuespecific progenitor cells in a specialized culture system that mimics the in vivo micro-environment . These cells can self-organize and differentiate into multiple cell types , recapitulating the architecture and cellular diversity of the organ or tissue they represent . These can be generated for various organs and tissues , including the brain , intestine , liver , kidney , lung , pancreas , and many others . Each organoid type has its unique culture conditions and differentiation protocols to achieve the desired cellular organization and functionality .
