Scientists have produced an organoid model of the human conjunctiva. These organoids mimic the function of the actual human conjunctiva, a tissue involved in tear production. Using their new model ...

These organoids mimic the function of the actual human conjunctiva, a tissue involved in tear production. Using their new model, the researchers discovered a new cell type in this tissue: tuft cells.

The transparent tissue that covers your eye is called the conjunctiva. When blood collects under this transparent tissue, it’s known as bleeding under the conjunctiva, or subconjunctival hemorrhage.

The new model mimics the structure and function of the human conjunctiva in a lab dish, even producing its own tears.
