Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Organoids are clumps of human cells that show some type of organ-specific function. In theory, they seem like a good tool for drug discovery, but the reality is that the technology is still not reliable enough. There are many people working to fix the issues with organoids, but they are still methods in progress. Organoids have not dramatically altered medicine yet, but they have already been used for some unarguably useful things.
