Machine learning helps grow artificial organs

This would allow to expand the applications of the technology for multiple fields including the drug discovery and development of cell replacement therapies to treat blindness. In multicellular organisms, the cells making up different organs and tissues are not the same. They have distinct functions and properties, acquired in the course of development. They start out the same, as so-called stem cells, which have the potential to become any kind of cell the mature organism incorporates. They then undergo differentiation by producing proteins specific to certain tissues and organs. The most advanced technique for replicating tissue differentiation in vitro relies on 3D cell aggregates called organoids.
