|
| Investigators showed that a short and early Dual SMAD and WNT inhibition course was necessary and sufficient to establish robust and lasting cortical organoid neural stem cells (NSC) identity, efficiently suppressing non-cortical NSC fates. [Nature Cell Biology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists explored cell-cell and cell-matrix dependence in 58 gastric cancer organoids by withdrawing either ROCK inhibitor, matrix or both to evaluate their tumorigenic potential. [Gut] |
|
|
|
| The authors established a simple 3D culture system that allowed for the generation and manipulation of neuroepithelial (NE) organoids from hiPSCs, displaying developmental phases of hiPSC differentiation and self-aggregation, first into NE cysts with lumen structure and then toward NE organoids with floor-plate patterning. [Advanced Science] |
|
|
|
| Investigators developed a novel engineering method of creating the chimeric human cerebral organoids to assess the differential roles of APOE4 in neurons and astrocytes. [Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy] |
|
|
|
| Investigators found that RNF43_p.G659fs promoted cell growth independent of Wnt signaling. PI3K/mTOR inhibitors yielded promising antitumor activity in RNF43659mut isogenic cell lines and xenograft models, as well as in patient-derived organoids harboring RNF43_p.G659fs mutations.

|
|
|
| Scientists established long-term murine and human salivary gland organoid cultures that expressed gland-specific genes and proteins of acinar, myoepithelial, and duct cells, and exhibited gland functions when stimulated with neurotransmitters. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Investigators established a framework to identify constraints on an organoid’s morphological features by quantifying them from microscopy images of organoids exposed to a range of perturbations. [Cell Systems] |
|
|
|
| Researchers developed a novel immune-enhanced tumor organoid system to study factors affecting immune checkpoint blockade response. [Scientific Reports] |
| |
|
|
|
| The authors review the molecular and cell biological features of basal radial glia that have recently been elucidated using brain organoids. [Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology] |

|
| Umoja Biopharma, Inc. and TreeFrog Therapeutics announced that they have entered into a collaboration to evaluate Umoja’s iPSC platform within TreeFrog’s C-Stem™ technology for scalable expansion and immune cell differentiation in bioreactors. [Umoja Biopharma, Inc.] |
