|
| The authors used multiple conditional deletion models to identify a role for IL-17A in secretory epithelial cell differentiation in the gut. [Immunity] |
|
|
|
| Investigators showed strong, graded, repetitive, and wavelength-specific light-evoked responses from retinal organoid cones. [Cell Stem Cell] |
|

|
| Individual cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator function was defined by forskolin-induced swelling, measured as the relative size increase of intestinal organoids after stimulation with 0.8 µM forskolin, quantified as area under the curve. [European Respiratory Journal] |
|
|
|
| By elucidating the in vivo molecular features of the renal stromal lineage at a single-cell resolution level, researchers established an in vitro induction protocol for stromal progenitors from mouse PSCs. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the dynamics of basement membrane assembly in human PSC-derived kidney organoids. [eLife] |
|
|
|
| Scientists showed that in-trans paired nicking allowed for fast, highly efficient, and indel-free fluorescent gene tagging in human normal and cancer organoids. [PLoS Biology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators developed a method for live-cell imaging of microbial infection dynamics on human adult stem cell-derived intestinal epithelial cell layers. [mBio] |
|
|
|
| Using iPSC derived kidney organoids, SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV tropism, defined by the paired expression of a host receptor and protease, was identified primarily amongst proximal tubule cells. [iScience] |

|
|
|
| The recent progress of organoids and organs-on-chips for virology research is summarized and their utility in meeting the COVID-19 pandemic is highlighted. [Advanced Science] |

|
| Novo Nordisk Foundation will invest up to $343 million over a ten-year period to establish an international research center focused on stem cell medicine. [BNovo Nordisk Foundation (Process International)] |

|
| The ISS will include an experiment by five students from the Luxembourg Center of System Biomedicine at Belval, who have been growing so-called “organoids”, mini brains that will be able to grow in micro gravity and thus help advance research in the fight against Parkinson’s disease.
