The study, published in the journal Stem Cells Research & Therapy, has been based on the analysis of different hydrogels to support the synthesis of laboratory minipulmons. Hydrogels are inert substrates, of chemical or biological origin, that allow the cultivation of organoids, providing structural support for the growth and differentiation of stem cells capable of generating miniature tissues for biomedical research. Organoids are one of the m…
