EPFL -- Next-Gen Organoids Grow and Function like Real Tissues (VIDEO)

Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne

Caption

Bioengineers at EPFL have created miniature intestines in a dish that match up anatomically and functionally to the real thing better than any other lab-grown tissue models. The biological complexity and longevity of the new organoid technology is an important step towards enabling drug testing, personalized medicine, and perhaps, one day, transplantations.
