Complex organ models grown in the lab

uni-wuerzburg.de

For the first time, scientists have grown organoids which have functional blood vessels, connective tissue, and even organ-specific immune cells.
This could lead to a reduction of animal and human experiments, where these organoids could be used to study diseases and treatments.
It could also become a new standard for growing tissue for transplants.
