Abstract  

The emergence and rapid development of the organoid technology has greatly improved the manufacturing ability of artificial tissues and organs, expanded the application scope of regenerative medicine, and also brought new opportunities for the development of the biomedicine industry. The analysis of the development status of the organoid technology, its application direction and industry development shows that this field is in a period of rapid growth. First, the organoid technology is in a period of explosive growth at present, the simulation level of structure and function of tissues and organs is constantly improved, and breakthroughs have been made in solving core “bottleneck” problems such as vascularization. Second, the organoids-on-a-chip technology produced by the fusion of the organoid technology and organ-on-a-chip has greatly improved the application ability of organoids. Finally, as a biological model, organoids have shown considerable application prospects in biomedical research, clinical treatment and drug research and development. Especially in drug research and development, the relevant industrial system is gradually taking shape, and the development process is advancing rapidly. In the future, with breakthoughs made in overcoming relevant technical bottlenecks and the further influx of commercial capital, the field of organoids will certainly have a broader development space, which will help the innovation and development of the biomedicine industry.
