Stress Tested, Testing Stress: Novel Organoid Models How the Adrenal Gland Develops
A team of scientists has engineered three‑dimensional adrenal organoids from human pluripotent stem cells, replicating key features of the gland’s architecture and hormone output. The organoids produce cortisol and display zonal differentiation similar to native adrenal tissue, confirming functional maturity. This model offers a scalable platform to study adrenal development, disease mechanisms, and drug responses in vitro. The work marks a significant step toward filling long‑standing gaps in our understanding of stress‑hormone biology.
