One new way that scientists study this process of cellular development — and a way in which they hope to grow replacement tissue for medical treatments in the future — is by recreating the essential features of human brains, eyes, lungs, and guts in a petri dish.

The more scientists learn about how cells work in a Petri dish or test tube, the more realistically they can set rules for virtual tissues.
