Latest international research: Organoids made from amniotic fluid can simulate late pregnancy development. Organoids are three-dimensional models made from human stem cells that resemble fetal tissue.

Current methods of obtaining organoids for pregnancy modeling, which are mostly obtained from postmortem fetal tissue, are typically only available within 20-22 weeks after conception. These organoids may provide a means to understand late. pregnancy development and contribute to the study of congenital malformations, according to the paper.
