Organoids are miniature in vitro models of organs constructed from stem cells. By leveraging the self-renewal and pluripotency of stem cells, organoids recapitulate three-dimensional tissue-like structures through autonomous cellular self-organization and structural development.
Since the landmark 2006 report describing the establishment of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, numerous studies on iPS cells have since been published. Fujifilm Wako supplies the small molecules cited in these publications for the culture of organoids derived from embryonic stem (ES) cells and iPS cells.
Ready-to-use solutions are available, as well as products in the CultureSure™ series, which are tested for endotoxin and mycoplasma contamination.
