| Scientists described the tissue engineering of human thymus organoids from PSCs that could support the de novo generation of a diverse population of functional human T cells. [Nature Methods] |

|
| Investigators developed a panel of CDK4/6i-resistant breast cancer cell lines and patient-derived organoids and demonstrated that a subset of resistant models accumulated mitotic segregation errors and micronuclei. [Science Advances] |
|
|
|
| Using single primary murine pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells embedded in a collagen matrix and adapted media supplementation, scientists generated organoids that self-organized into highly branched structures displaying a seamless lumen connecting terminal end buds. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Investigators performed a transcriptome-wide screen for genes of unknown function that possess inverse expression patterns in differentiating keratinocytes compared with cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas. [Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| Murine intestinal and pulmonary organoids were harnessed to demonstrate that the epithelial niche was sufficient to drive tissue-specific maturation of all innate lymphoid cell groups in parallel, without requiring subset-specific cytokine supplementation. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers presented a new in vitro model of the small intestine based on primary epithelial cells, apically accessible, with native tissue mechanical properties and controlled mesh size, 3D villus-like architecture, and precisely controlled biomolecular gradients of the intestinal stem cell niche. [Advanced Healthcare Materials] |
|
|
|
| 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] |
|
|
|
| 52 organoids were established from 153 primary liver cancer patients. Compared with establishing patient-derived xenograft models, establishing organoids of hepatocellular carcinoma showed a trend toward a higher success rate and took less time. [Cellular Oncology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators reported a method for creating a perfusable 3D proximal tubule model composed of epithelial cells isolated from kidney organoids matured under static conditions. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| 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] |
| |
|
|
|
| The authors review progress made over the past decade in the generation and use of stem cell-derived metabolic cell types and organoids in metabolic disease research, especially obesity and liver diseases. [Nature Reviews Endocrinology] |

|
|
| Three scientific teams that developed physiologically competent retinal organoid systems have won the final phase of the 3D Retinal Organoid Challenge managed by the National Eye Institute. [National Eye Institute] |
