| Spectral microscopy, single-cell/-nucleus RNA sequencing or ACE2 ‘gain-of-function’ experiments were applied on infected human lung explants and adult stem cell-derived human lung organoids to correlate ACE2 and related host factors with SARS-CoV-2 tropism, propagation, virulence, and immune activation.

|
| Nanoparticles conjugated with the cytostatic drug doxorubicin and a fluorescent dye exhibited significantly greater cytotoxicity toward CT-26 tumor spheroids than equally concentrated dissolved doxorubicin. [Small] |
|
|
|
| The authors introduced a platform for routine grafting of liver and other tissues on an in vitro grown microvascular bed. [Angiogenesis] |
|
|
|
| Scientists 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] |
|
|
|
| Investigators constructed an airway organoid of Dnah9 knock-down mice and discovered that it could mimic the key features of the primary cilia dyskinesia (PCD) phenotypes. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Researchers attempted to elucidate the events that result in carcinogenesis and identify the cancer cell-of-origin. [Oncogenesis] |

|
| In human pituitary tumors, cells typified by expression of stemness markers, in particular SOX2 and SOX9, were found present in a wide variety of clinical tumor types, also showing a pronounced proliferative status. [Endocrine-Related Cancer] |
|
|
|
| The authors reported that mucinous colorectal carcinoma tumors maintained a robust apico-basolateral polarity as they spread in the peritumoral stroma or organotypic collagen-I gels. [Journal of Cell Science] |
|
|
|
| Scientists isolated 15 single clones from four tumor organoid lines from one patient at a primary passage from one patient. Each organoid line showed variable alterations in both genotype and phenotype. [Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy] |

|
| Investigators summarize the natural tissue and organ’s unique chemical and mechanical properties, guiding researchers to design an extracellular microenvironment used for organoid engineering [Tissue Engineering Part B-Reviews] |

|
| Israel’s first organoid bank was established at Hadassah University Medical Center in Ein Kerem. Organoids are used for medical research and translational medicine around the world. [The Jerusalem Post] |

|
| the family of Kimberly Greenberg and 1H-E Syndrome Foundation presented a $45,000 gift check to Dr. Jiang’s lab, which has succeeded on modeling H1-4 causing neurodevelopmental defects using human H1-4 patient derived iPSC and brain organoids. [Yale School of Medicine] |
