| Knockout in genome-edited cerebral organoids, scientists found that the modern human variant, human Transketolase-like 1 (TKTL1), but not the Neanderthal variant, increases the abundance of basal radial glia but not that of intermediate progenitors [Science] |

|
| ARHGAP11B expression in chimpanzee cerebral organoids doubled basal progenitor levels, the class of cortical progenitors with a key role in neocortex expansion. [EMBO Reports] |
|
|
|
| The authors examined the potential of mouse epiblast stem cells cultured in media containing Wnt pathway inhibitors as a starting point for directed differentiation. [Development] |
|
|
|
| Investigators compared the cell composition of cerebral organoids (COs) at different culture time and explored the cell types, cell ratios, and volume size of COs at 85 days. [Acta Pharmacologica Sinica] |
|
|
|
| Scientists reported a pivotal role of fused in sarcoma (FUS) in regulating the human cortical brain and spinal cord development via the human iPSCs-derived organoids. [Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience] |
|
|
|
| Tumor tissues were collected, and OCT4, SOX2, and NANOG expressions were assessed by immunohistochemistry staining to investigate the association of stemness markers with overall survival. [BMC Cancer] |
|
|
|
| By using cerebral organoids, a self-organized, functional and multicellular 3D structure that resemble the brain, scientists were able to identify μ, δ, and κ opioid receptors at different stages of maturation. [Stem Cells and Development] |
|
|
|
| The authors generated retinal organoids using iPSCs from renal epithelial cells obtained from four children with AIPL1 nonsense mutations. [Cell Reports Methods] |
|
|
|
| Researchers developed a technology to make forebrain organoids from feeder-free induced PSCs by regulating a FGF2 concentration. [Cell Reports Methods] |
| |
|
|
|
| Scientists provide an overview of the current understanding of intestinal epithelial self-renewal during homeostasis and regeneration, and provide a perspective for future organoid medicine. [Current Opinion in Genetics & Development] |

| Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health have been awarded a $11.7 million, five-year Autism Center of Excellence grant from the National Institutes of Health. [Johns Hopkins] |
