State whether the following is true or false.
An organoid is a simplified three-dimensional structure grown from stem cells that resembles an organ.

  • A.True only at large scales
  • B.False only at small scales
  • C.True
  • D.False

Answer: C

Correct answer: True

An organoid is grown from stem cells or progenitors that self-organise into a structure reproducing several of an organ’s cell types and something of its architecture. It is a simplified model rather than a miniature organ - there is no blood supply and usually no immune or nerve component - but it recapitulates development and function far better than a monolayer.
