Abstract

Across scientific disciplines, 3-D organoid culture systems offer platforms to integrate basic research findings with clinical care. The National Eye Institute mounted a $1.1 million 3-D Retina Organoid Challenge. Organoids developed through the Challenge will be valuable resources for drug screening, disease modeling, and precision and regenerative medicine.
