The interest in the use of organoids to model human development in health and disease is at an all-time high. Recently, a team from the U.K. demonstrated that progenitor cells from amniotic fluid, referred to as tissue specific stem cells (and are distinct from pluripotent stem cells), can form fetal organoids. The researchers successfully developed organoids of multiple different tissue types (small intestine, kidney, and lung) from the cells collected from the amniotic fluid samples, without accessing
