Organoids are three-dimensional, miniaturized, and simplified versions of organs that are cultivated from stem cells in a laboratory setting. These stem cells can be either adult stem cells or pluripotent stem cells, which have the potential to differentiate into various cell types. Organoids replicate the complex architecture and functions of real organs, making them valuable for medical research.

Brain organoids are three-dimensional structures that mimic the complexity and organization of the human brain. They are generated from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), which have the ability to differentiate into any cell type in the body, including neurons and other brain cells.

Derived from human stem cells, provide a powerful tool for studying the human brain, understanding neurological diseases, and developing new treatments. The integration of AI further enhances their potential by enabling advanced data analysis, predictive modeling, and personalized medicine.
