In the United States, over 650,000 new infections from thermally dimorphic fungi happen every year. These fungi change shape with the temperature and cause serious diseases. But, a new hope comes from organoids. They are tiny, self-organizing structures that act like real tissues.

Organoids: Miniature Organs for Drug Testing
“The essence of science is to ask an impertinent question, that leads to a pertinent answer.” – Jacob Bronowski, Mathematician and Philosopher Researchers are now exploring a new way to find medical breakthroughs: miniature organs called organoids. These tiny, three-dimensional structures come from stem cells. They could change how we test drugs and tailor treatments. Organoids are not just small copies of real organs. They…
