What Are Organoids? The Lab-Grown “Mini-Organs” Changing Drug Testing
Traditional preclinical drug testing has relied heavily on two-dimensional cell cultures — cells grown as a flat layer in a laboratory dish — and animal models, both of which imperfectly represent how a drug will actually behave in complex human tissue. Organoids offer a fundamentally different approach: three-dimensional, lab-grown tissue structures that self-organize to mimic…
