Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Regenerative Medicine
Tissue Engineering

Background:

Conjunctival homeostasis is vital for ocular health, but limited in vitro models hinder disease research.
Organoid technology provides biomimetic models that recapitulate in vivo conditions, structures, and functions.
Conjunctival organoids, first developed in 2024 from adult stem cells, represent a significant advancement.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the current research landscape of conjunctival organoids.
To highlight established culture methods and applications of conjunctival organoids.
To identify limitations and future directions for conjunctival organoid development and clinical translation.

Main Methods:

Review of organoid research, focusing on conjunctival organoids and their development.
Analysis of four core culture methods: iPSC differentiation, 3D-printed tissues, full-thickness models, and high-throughput models.
Examination of applications including disease modeling, drug screening, and transplantation.

Main Results:

Four primary culture methods for conjunctival organoids have been developed.
Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) differentiation yields functional epithelial cells.
High-throughput models have shown successful in-situ transplantation in mice.
Applications include disease pathogenesis studies, drug screening, and potential transplantation.

Conclusions:

Conjunctival organoids show promise for studying ocular diseases, drug development, and transplantation.
Current limitations include single cell types, limited sources, high costs, and unproven transplant safety.
Future research should focus on optimizing culture, multi-cell models, biomaterials, standardization, and expanding applications for clinical translation.
