|
| Researchers evaluated molnupiravir against variants of concern (VOC) in human airway epithelium organoids, ferrets, and a lethal Roborovski dwarf hamster model of severe COVID-19-like lung injury. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Mettl14 ablation triggered apoptosis that depleted Lgr5+ stem cells and disrupted colonic organoid growth and differentiation, whereas the inhibition of apoptosis rescued Mettl14-deleted mice and organoids. [Developmental Cell] |
|
|
|
| Scientists defined and spatially mapped cell populations within the human ureter using single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial gene expression, and immunofluorescence approaches. [Developmental Cell] |
|
|
|
| The authors analyzed brain organoid and fetal single-cell RNA sequencing data from published and new datasets, totaling about 190,000 cells. [EMBO Journal] |
|
|
|
| Investigators described the generation of a collection of 19 pediatric rhabdomyosarcomas tumor organoid models comprising all major subtypes. [EMBO Molecular Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Researchers defined multiple pathways by which the gut microbiome protects mammalian hosts from SARS-CoV-2 intranasal infection, both locally and systemically, via production of short-chain fatty acids. [Gut Microbes] |
|
|
|
| The authors demonstrated label-free three-photon imaging of whole, uncleared intact organoids to assess early events of early human brain development. [eLife] |
|
|
|
| Researchers reported a method for simple, reproducible, and scalable production of small intestinal organoids based on the aggregation of cryopreservable human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived mid-hindgut endoderm monolayers. [Stem Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists extended gastruloid culture conditions to capture features of embryonic blood development through a combination of immunophenotyping, detailed transcriptomics analysis, and identification of blood stem/progenitor cell potency. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors review recent advances in synthetic morphogenesis, highlighting how a combination of microfabrication and mechanobiology is fostering our understanding of how tissues are built. [Trends in Cell Biology] |
