Vascular Organoids: Are We Entering a New Area of Cardiometabolic Research?

Abstract

Recently in Nature, Wimmer et al. (2019) reported on the development of a human organoid model of vascular development recapitulating vascular pathology during type 2 diabetes. Integration of these organoids into the vasculature of immunodeficient mice may provide cardiometabolic researchers with a "personalized" platform for novel therapeutic discovery.
