Mini eyes grown in lab to unlock secrets of birth defects
NCT ID NCT06408701
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study takes skin or blood cells from 20 people with eye malformations and turns them into stem cells, which are then grown into tiny 3D eye-like structures (organoids) in a dish. Researchers will study these mini eyes to understand what goes wrong during development and test new treatments. The goal is to learn more about the genetic causes of these conditions, not to directly treat participants.
