An assembloid is a self-organizing three-dimensional system formed by the functional integration of multiple organoids or by combining organoids with specialized cell types or primary tissue explants. They are typically derived from induced pluripotent stem cells. Assembloids have been used to study cell migration, neural circuit assembly, neuro-immune interactions, metastasis, and other complex tissue processes. The method for fusing organoids was a simultaneous discovery in 2017 by three labs. The term assembloid was later coined to standardize terminology.
