Abstract:
Organoids are three-dimensional models of microscopic organisms created through the self-organization of various types of stem cells. They are widely unitized in personalized medicine due to their capacity to replicate the structure and functionality of native organs. Meanwhile, nanotechnology has been integrated into diagnostic and therapeutic tools to manage an array of medical conditions, given its unique characteristics of nanoscale. Nanomaterials have demonstrated potential in developing innovative and effective organoids. With a focus on studying the interaction of nanomaterials and organoid technology in personalized medicine, this Review examines the role of nanomaterials in regulating the fate of stem cells to construct different types of organoids. It also explores the potential of nanotechnology to create 3D microenvironments for organoids. Finally, perspectives and challenges of applying nanotechnology for organoids development toward the translation of personalized medicine are discussed.
