    Multiocular Organoids from Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Displayed Retinal, Corneal, and Retinal Pigment Epithelium Lineages

    Researchers demonstrated the generation of more advanced in vitro multiocular organoids from human iPSCs. In the 2D culture, self-formed multizone ocular progenitor cells spanned the neuroectoderm, surface ectoderm, neural crest, and retinal pigment epithelium, mimicking early stages of eye development.

    Inhibition of the Bromodomain and Extra-Terminal Family of Epigenetic Regulators as a Promising Therapeutic Approach for Gastric Cancer

    The effect of BET inhibition was evaluated using iBET-151, a small-molecule inhibitor of BET proteins, in a large panel of gastric cancer cell lines and xenograft mouse models. The synergistic effect of iBET-151 and paclitaxel was evaluated using an organoid model.

    Abstract

    Precancerous Liver Diseases Do Not Cause Increased Mutagenesis in Liver Stem Cells

    The authors performed whole-genome sequencing on clonally expanded single liver stem cells cultured as intrahepatic cholangiocyte organoids from patients with alcoholic cirrhosis, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, and primary sclerosing cholangitis.
