Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have grown simplified organs, known as organoids, with fully integrated sensors. These so-called cyborg organoids offer a rare glimpse into the early stages of organ development and could be used to test and monitor patient-specific drug treatments and for transplantations.
