HCMV Infection Disrupts Barrier Functions and Promotes Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in a Cholangiocyte Organoid Model
[Nature Communications] Researchers established a human iPSC-derived cholangiocyte-like cell organoid model that can be infected by human cytomegalovirus, which results in reduced organoid growth, a deformed structure, and a loss of barrier function.
Autophagy Activators Normalize Aberrant Tau Proteostasis and Rescue Synapses in Human Familial Alzheimer’s Disease iPSC-Derived Cortical Organoids
[Advanced Science] To illuminate early changes in Alzheimer's disease, researchers developed a cerebrocortical organoid model with improved methodology.
Tendon Organoids Enable Functional Tendon Rejuvenation through ALKBH5-Dependent RNA Demethylation
[Advanced Science] Scientists generated fetal-like tendon organoids from adult tendon stem/progenitor cells using a serum-free 3D culture system that recapitulated the in vivo microenvironment.
A Microneedle Platform Co-Encapsulating Chondral Organoids and PpIX for Spatiotemporally Orchestrated Tumor Ablation and Osteochondral Regeneration
[Bioactive Materials] Investigators introduced a spatiotemporal microneedle platform that synergistically combines protoporphyrin IX-mediated sonodynamic therapy for precise tumor eradication with chondral organoid-driven regeneration, leveraging differential mechanical cues for lineage-specific guidance.
Tooth-Bone Integrated Organoids via Bioactive Glass Mediated Dual Interface Bonding and Rapid Osteogenesis
[Advanced Healthcare Materials] The authors presented a tooth-bone integrated organoid strategy that synchronously reconstructs bone and dental implant structures in vitro, aiming to achieve dual restoration of structure and function post-implantation.
A Scalable Organoid Model of Urothelial Aging for Metabolic Interrogation, Infection Modeling, and Reversal of Age-Associated Changes
[Aging Cell] Researchers introduced mouse bladder epithelium-derived organoids (mBEDOs) as a scalable platform to model urothelial aging. mBEDOs from aged mice recapitulate key features of age-associated cellular reprogramming, including oxidative stress, senescence, and DNA damage.
Thyroid Hormone Augmentation Accelerates Hair Cell Maturation in Human Cochlear Organoids
[Cell Reports] To promote hair cell maturation, scientists tested the effects of the thyroid hormone thyroxine on Prestin expression in human cochlear organoids.
Engineering a Cancer Organoid-Based Platform for the Early Preclinical Evaluation of the Antitumor Efficacy and Safety of Hydrophilic 2D Metallic MoS Nanosheets
[Journal of Colloid and Interface Science] Investigators developed a cancer patient-derived organoid platform for evaluating hydrophilic metallic MoS2 nanosheets in colorectal cancer.
Sex Hormone-Responsive Human Vaginal Epithelial Organoids: A Novel In Vitro Platform for Studying Chlamydia Trachomatis Infection
[Cell Communication and Signaling] Researchers established the first long-term, genetically stable human vaginal epithelial organoids using a tailored Matrigel-based culture medium that preserves the native stratified squamous architecture.
Distinct SOX9 Single-Molecule Dynamics Characterize Adult Differentiation and Fetal-Like Reprogrammed States in Intestinal Organoids
[Stem Cell Reports] Using automated live-cell single-molecule tracking in intestinal organoid models, scientists revealed an expression-level-independent decrease in the fraction of immobile sex-determining region Y box 9 (SOX9) molecules during differentiation from ∼48% to ∼38%, largely dependent on DNA binding.
From 3D Culture to Clinical Decision-Making: Systematic Innovations in Breast Cancer Organoids
[Biomaterials Advances] The authors integrate cutting-edge technologies such as organ-on-a-chip and CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing to summarize the multidimensional generation strategy of breast cancer organoids and discuss the clinical value of translation from diagnosis to therapy.
Gameto Licenses Foundational Meiosis IP to Advance Human Ovary-in-a-Dish Platform
[Gameto] Gameto announced that it has exclusively licensed additional intellectual property from Harvard University related to the induction of meiosis in human cells. This meiosis-induction approach will be integrated with its proprietary ovarian organoid platform to induce human oogonia to enter early meiotic stages in vitro.
