"Growing Mini Organs from Fetal Cells in Amniotic Fluid: A Breakthrough Study"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by ScienceAlert
Scientists have successfully grown organoids of human organs from live fetus cells, offering new insights into prenatal development and potential treatments for malformations. These organoids, developed from amniotic fluid cells, mimic the functions of real tissues and can be used to study diseases and human biology. The breakthrough could lead to prenatal diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as congenital diaphragmatic hernia, offering a new avenue for prenatal medicine and drug testing for unborn babies.
