Towards 3D-oid models that integrate molecular, morphological and spatial cellular features.
Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol., DOI: 10.1038/s41580-026-01025-4 (2026)
Methods to study cellular omics, morphology and spatial context evolved independently, yet evidence shows their integration outperforms single-methodology analyses. In this Comment, we propose that use of next-generation 3D-oids that combine molecular, morphological and spatial information will promote tissue analyses and bring us closer to engineering functional organs.
