Revolutionary DNA Microbead Technique Enhances Organoid Complexity

Interdisciplinary team develops method to control tissue growth signals, offering breakthroughs in disease research and drug development.

New technique uses DNA microbeads to control organoid development from within.
Method allows precise timing and location for the release of growth signals in tissue.
Successfully tested on retinal organoids of Japanese rice fish medaka.
Enables more realistic cell compositions and better mimicking of natural tissues.
Potential to advance human development research and organoid-based drug studies.
