Is this true or false? The cat intestinal organoid is a monolayer of a single cell type which facilitates molecular investigations of Toxoplasma development.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking whether a specific statement about cat intestinal organoids being a monolayer of a single cell type that aids in studies of Toxoplasma development is true or false.
Answer
False
The statement is false. Cat intestinal organoids are not a monolayer of a single cell type; they are multicellular structures used to replicate the intestinal environment and study host-pathogen interactions, including Toxoplasma gondii.
Answer for screen readers
The statement is false. Cat intestinal organoids are not a monolayer of a single cell type; they are multicellular structures used to replicate the intestinal environment and study host-pathogen interactions, including Toxoplasma gondii.
More Information
Organoids, including those derived from cat intestines, are multicellular constructs that resemble the natural tissue environment more closely than a monolayer would, allowing for more sophisticated studies of Toxoplasma development.
