我们每个人的身体是独一无二的。这是个令人愉快的想法，但面对疾病治疗时并非如此。对于标准化的治疗方法，每个个体反应不同，而且常常不可预知。组织工程学家Nina Tandon讨论了一个可能的解决办法：使用多功能干细胞制造出个性化的器官模型，在其上测试新的药物和治疗方法，并且将这些信息存储在电脑芯片上。（这就是完全个性化的药物）

Nina Tandon:组织工程学能创造出个性化的药物吗？

Personalized tissue models built from stem cells could revolutionize how new drugs are tested and developed. These engineered tissues mimic the unique biology of each person, revealing how medicines will act in real human systems long before clinical trials begin. Scientists have already created mini beating hearts and neurons that display disease symptoms, enabling faster and safer breakthroughs. This approach promises more precise therapies and could drastically reduce reliance on animal testing.
