Personalized organoids derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be used to test interventions.

“A blood sample is taken, some cells are isolated (PBMCs) and reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). These cells are then propagated in cultures. Using special lab treatments and conditions, they are coaxed to differentiate and grow into mini-organs, or organoids. These organoids carry my exact DNA. Although the reprogramming process erases most epigenetics acquired in my life, bringing the cells back to a newborn-like state, we can think of these organoids as "Baby Bryans" available to test interventions.”
