|
| Using single-cell RNA sequencing, investigators showed that primary human cholangiocytes displayed transcriptional diversity that is lost in organoid culture. [Science] |
|
|
|
| Based on genome-wide analysis of the epigenetic clock and transcriptomics, as well as RNA editing, researchers observed that 3D human cortical organoids reached postnatal stages between 250 and 300 days, a timeline paralleling in vivo development. [Nature Neuroscience] |
|
|
|
| Specific variations in YTHDF1 expression were detected in YTHDF1-overexpressing, -knockout, and -knockdown human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells, HCC organoids, and HCC patient-derived xenograft murine models. [Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy] |
|
|
|
| The authors describe an androgen-dependent prostate cancer patient-derived xenograft model from treatment-naïve, soft tissue metastasis. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| The impact of endoplasmic reticulum stress induced by Thapsigargin on serine protease secretion was studied using either human intestinal cells lines or organoids. [Journal of Crohn’s and Colitis] |
|
|
|
| Researchers established and molecularly characterized CoCaB 1, an aggressive cisplatin-resistant muscle-invasive bladder cancer patient-derived xenograft and companion organoid system. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists used endometrial stromal, primary endometriotic stromal, epithelial endometriotic and co-culture spheroids to mimic the architecture of endometrium, and either collagen I or Matrigel to model ectopic locations. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators developed a novel electrochemical sensing approach capable of detecting dopamine, the main biomarker in Parkinson’s disease, within the highly complex cell culture matrix of human midbrain organoids in a non-invasive and label-free manner. [Analyst] |
|
|
|
| Researchers describe a chemically defined protocol for 3D culture and propagation of glioblastoma in 3D gliospheres, patient-derived organoids, mouse brain orthotopic xenografts, and downstream drug and immunofluorescence assays. [STAR Protocols] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors investigate cell surface and genetic engineering approaches, and discuss stem cell niche engineering based on the design of matrices that allow spatiotemporal control of organoid growth and shape-guided morphogenesis. [Nature Reviews Materials] |

|
|
| Century Therapeutics announced a significant expansion of its operational and laboratory space in Philadelphia, as well as progress on its manufacturing facility in Branchburg, NJ, paving the way for a strong technical foundation as the company scales up its in-house research and development capabilities.
