Background:

Vertebrate cells exhibit remarkable self-organization, reconstructing organs from dissociated cells.
This capacity is now utilized to generate organoids from stem cells.

Purpose of the Study:

To summarize the rapidly evolving field of organoid technology.
To outline the potential of organoids in biomedical research.

Main Methods:

Organoids are three-dimensional cultures derived from stem cells.
Human stem cells and patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells are used.

Main Results:

Organoids can recapitulate organ architecture and function.
They serve as models for human development and disease.

Conclusions:

Organoid technology holds significant promise for disease modeling and drug discovery.
Potential applications include future organ replacement strategies.
