Caption

Human organoids derived from duodenal tissue sections. Organoids consist of epithelial cells and can be grown from isolated intestinal crypts, which contain active stem cells. Within days, organoids grow from small circular structures into bigger, more complex structures resembling many aspects of intestinal physiology.
