Human cardiac drug discovery and disease modeling face challenges in recapitulating cellular complexity and animal-to-human translation due to the limitations of conventional 2D cell culture and animal models. The development of human cardiac organoid technologies could help in stimulating and maintaining differentiated cell functions for extended periods of time. By closely mimicking in vivo organ functions in vitro they could thereby help in overcoming the obstacles mentioned above. Through the construction of human cardiac organoids from pluripotent stem cell-derived cells, derived from patients with specific known genotypes and phenotypes, more complex and robust in vitro tools have recently become available for disease modeling. In this review, we will describe the relevance and importance of evolving organoid platforms in disease biology. We further provide examples of cardiac organoid platforms, which may lead the way toward future personalized medicine and drug discovery.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009924 Organ Culture Techniques A technique for maintenance or growth of animal organs in vitro. It refers to three-dimensional cultures of undisaggregated tissue retaining some or all of the histological features of the tissue in vivo. (Freshney, Culture of Animal Cells, 3d ed, p1) Organ Culture,Culture Technique, Organ,Culture Techniques, Organ,Organ Culture Technique,Organ Cultures
D009940 Organoids An organization of cells into an organ-like structure. Organoids can be generated in culture, e.g., self-organized three-dimensional tissue structures derived from STEM CELLS (see MICROPHYSIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS). They are also found in certain NEOPLASMS. Organoid
D002478 Cells, Cultured Cells propagated in vitro in special media conducive to their growth. Cultured cells are used to study developmental, morphologic, metabolic, physiologic, and genetic processes, among others. Cultured Cells,Cell, Cultured,Cultured Cell
