Fact
Source: Detailed image of the human retina
Summary
Researchers have developed a specialised atlas that aims to map different tissue types and structures in the human body, including organoids. Organoids are clumps of tissue that are developed in a way similar to human organs, but on a small scale. The researchers used a new imaging technique called iterative indirect immunofluorescence imaging (4i) to visualise proteins in the organoids of the human retina, to gather and compile a great deal of information about their development.
