BU’s Core Organoid Research Spans CRC & MED Campuses to Restore Organ Function
Organoids are a growing trend in biomedical research fields internationally––but what are they? As the name suggests, it’s a simplified model of an organ made up of cells, studied both in vitro (outside a living organism) and in vivo (inside a living organism) to enhance the understanding and treatment of organ-related diseases and disorders. Their pathology, phenotype, and––in the future––repair, […]
