Abstract

In recent years, organoids have demonstrated immense potential as three-dimensional in vitro models of human tissue, capable of simulating physiological and pathological environments. Nanomaterials, owing to their unique physicochemical properties, have become pivotal tools in advancing organoid research and applications. By integrating nanomaterials, scientists can more effectively explore disease mechanisms, optimize drug delivery systems, and develop novel therapeutic strategies. For example, nanoparticle-based metabolic reprogramming techniques offer novel avenues for regulating organ function, while advances in gene editing technologies have markedly enhanced the precision and complexity of organoid models. Furthermore, organoids demonstrate broad application prospects in fields such as virology research, cardiac tissue engineering, and cancer therapy. These advances not only propel fundamental scientific inquiry but also provide crucial support for clinical translation. The future holds promise for achieving more precise, personalized medical solutions through the integration of nanotechnology and organoid models.
