Abstract:
Organoids, which are tiny, lab-grown 3D structures that mimic some organizational and functional properties of human organs, are slowly transforming the face of systems and developmental biology, biomedical research, pharmaceutical testing, environmental toxin testing, and healthcare. Significant investments are essential for the mass production, preservation, and distribution of organoids, with the aim to accelerate innovation and progress across multiple fields-much like the investments made in cell and biologics manufacturing over the past 2 decades.
