| Investigators developed Pando—a flexible framework that incorporates multi-omic data and predictions of transcription-factor-binding sites to infer a global gene regulatory network describing organoid development. [Nature] |

|
| The authors showed that the subset of intraepithelial lymphocytes that expressed γ and δ T cell receptor subunits promoted the viability of Paneth cells deficient in the Crohn’s disease susceptibility gene ATG16L1. [Nature] |
|
|
|
| Scientists present a comprehensive single-cell transcriptomic, epigenetic, and spatial atlas of human cortical organoid development, comprising over 610,000 cells, from generation of neural progenitors through production of differentiated neuronal and glial subtypes. [Cell] |
|
|
|
| Researchers defined the microglial responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection by single-cell transcriptomic profiling and observed an upregulation of interferon-responsive genes as well as genes promoting migration and synapse engulfment. [Molecular Psychiatry] |
|
|
|
| The authors showed that IL-22 regulated pro-inflammatory pathways were involved in microbial recognition, cancer and immune cell chemotaxis— most prominently those involving CXCR2+ neutrophils. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Researchers produced human telencephalic organoids from stem cell-derived single neural rosettes and investigated telencephalic development under normal and pathological conditions. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Investigators reporedt that H. pylori preferentially attached to differentiated cells in the pit region of gastric units. Single-cell RNA-seq showed that organoid-derived monolayers recapitulate the pit region, while organoids capture the gland region of the gastric units. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| To determine mechanisms by which neutrophils, as early responders to bacterial challenge, direct inflammatory programming of human intestinal epithelium, scientists established a multi-component human intestinal organoid model of Salmonella enterica Typhimurium infection. [PLoS Pathogens] |
|
|
|
| Investigators generated iPSC-derived mesenchymal cells that had the ability to develop alveolar organoids with the aim of modeling niche environments and diseases. [Cell Reports Methods] |
| |
|
|
|
| The authors discuss the applicability of the organoid technology for modeling pathogenesis, host response and features, which can be explored for the development of preventive and therapeutic treatments. [Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists review models of human retinal disease, including animal models, and hPSC–derived models for their role in gene discovery and treatment of inherited retinal diseases. [Retina-the Journal of Retinal and Vitreous Diseases] |

|
|
| A research announcement to leverage the unique microgravity environment of the International Space Station for in-space production applications within the biomedical community is now open. [ISS National Laboratory] |

|
| Four young faculty members at Columbia University have received prestigious “New Innovator” awards from the NIH’s High-Risk, High-Reward program, including Dr. Christopher Makinson who is studying brain organoid maturation. [Columbia University] |
