Abstract
- Organoids, briefly and simply stated, are miniature replicas of human organs and tissues: they derive from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) or from adult cells and tissues, including tumors. They represent an important tool for personalized medicine and drug testing in general. At the moment the legal framework is incomplete and the focus is rather on ethical issues and the protection of privacy. The essay focuses on the legal framework looking for qualifying answers that can combine research development and protection of the person. Gli organoidi, detto in sintesi e semplicità, sono repliche in miniatura di organi e tessuti umani: derivano da cellule staminali pluripotenti indotte (iPSC) o da cellule e tessuti adulti, anche di tipo tumorale. Rappresentano un importante strumento per la medicina personalizzata e per la sperimentazione dei farmaci in generale. Al momento il quadro giuridico è lacunoso e l’attenzione è piuttosto sui temi etici e tutela della privacy. Il saggio si concentra sul framework giuridico cercando risposte qualificatorie che possano coniugare sviluppo della ricerca e tutela la persona.
