The MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge. Picture shows - refrigerated Organoids or Minibrains which are tiny, self-organized three-dimensional tissue cultures that are derived from stem cells. Such cultures can be crafted to replicate much of the complexity of an organ, or to express selected aspects of it like producing only certain types of cells.
