In a non-human primate model of lung injury, along with human organoids and tissue specimens, scientists showed that alveolar type-2 cells in regenerating lungs transiently acquired an alveolar type-0 state from which they could differentiate into either alveolar type-1 cells or respiratory bronchiole-secretory cells.

|
| In response to PX-478 treatment, human islet organoids chronically exposed to high glucose presented improved stimulation index of glucose-induced insulin secretion. [Science Translational Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Tthe culture and expansion of human cholangiocyte organoids in liver extracellular matrix-derived hydrogels is described. These hydrogels supported proliferation of cholangiocyte organoids and maintain the cholangiocyte-like phenotype. [Biomaterials] |

|
| Researchers demonstrated that gastrointestinal tissue-derived extracellular matrix hydrogels were suitable substitutes for Matrigel in gastrointestinal organoid culture. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| The authors microinjected mouse spermatogonial stem cells into embryonic gonads or reaggregated neonatal testis organoids, which were transplanted under the tunica albuginea of mature testes. [Stem Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Using new protocols for hPSC-derived retinal organoid culture, scientists demonstrated improved outer segment formation for both rod and cone photoreceptors, including organized stacked discs. [Stem Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers used human forebrain organoids, in vitro derived 3D cell cultures that recapitulated key human brain developmental features. [Translational Psychiatry] |
|
|
|
| The authors developed a tumor-chip device engineered to mimic the pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma tumor microenvironment by incorporating patient-derived organoids and stromal cells, specifically pancreatic stellate cells and macrophages. [Microsystems & Nanoengineering] |
|
|
|
| Investigators described an analysis of nearly 3500 individual mouse-derived cancer organoids where individual organoid morphologic tracking was performed. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
|
| The author review how single and multiple human organ chip systems have been used to model complex diseases and rare genetic disorders, to study host–microbiome interactions, to recapitulate whole-body inter-organ physiology and to reproduce human clinical responses to drugs, radiation, toxins and infectious pathogens.

|
| Scientists provide a comprehensive summary of fetal brain metabolic studies related to drug abuse in animal and human models. [Frontiers in Neuroscience] |
|
|
|
| Investigators review existing strategies for fabricating and incorporating vascular elements and perfusion within tissue organoids. [Mammalian Genome] |
