- Scientists for first time have successfully grown oesophageal organoids, a miniature, functional versions of human food pipe using pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) in laboratory.
- This bioengineered oesophageal organoids paves way for new ways to study and test drugs against gut disorders.
- Moreover, bioengineered genetically matched esophageal tissue can be also transplanted in individual patients.
- It will help to study birth defects like esophageal atresia, organoids, eosinophilic esophagitis and Barrett’s metaplasia.
