Producing tears in a dish: researchers develop first model of human conjunctiva
From Hubrecht Institute 16/01/24 The Organoid group at the Hubrecht Institute produced the first organoid model of the human conjunctiva. These organoids mimic the function of the actual human conjunctiva, a tissue involved in tear production. Using their new model, the researchers discovered a new cell type in this tissue: tuft cells. The tuft cells […]
