Shape Guides the Growth of Organoids

NewsResearch

Organoids are miniature lab-grown tissue structures that can mimic real organs. But guiding stem cells to grow an organoid of defined shape and size is difficult. Now, EPFL bioengineers have developed new methods for successfully guiding stem cells to grow into intestinal tissues with real-life 3D structure and function.
