Abstract
In cell culture applications, modeling cells from the original tissue in culture medium has been difficult due to limitations in cell proliferation and differentiation. These limitations have directed researchers toward the discovery of organoid systems that better represent cells from the original tissue biologically, physiologically, and functionally in the culture medium. Organoid cultures can be formed from embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, or adult stem cells. They play a crucial role in various fields such as biology, medicine, and stem cell biology. This chapter reports on the areas of study, advantages, and disadvantages of organoid systems.
