A single human intestinal organoid, or HIO -- a hollow ball of cells grown from human embryonic stem cells and coaxed to become gut-lining cells. Scientists can use it to study basic gut ...

The use of the heterogeneous and ill-defined 3D cell culture platform Matrigel has facilitated organoid culture with impressive versatility but is not without limitations. In particular, culture in ...

Advances in three-dimensional organoid technology have revolutionized the stem cell field. Intestinal stem cells can be expanded and functionally differentiated to form “mini-organs” or organoids that ...

Researchers from the Organoid group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new way to grow organoids. Organoids are tiny organs that are grown in the lab and mimic the original organ.
