    Glucose Absorption Drives Cystogenesis in a Human Organoid-on-Chip Model of Polycystic Kidney Disease

    Investigators showed that subjecting organoids to fluid shear stress in a polycystic kidney disease-on-a-chip microphysiological system promoted cyst expansion via an absorptive rather than a secretory pathway.

    Di-(2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate Exposure Impairs Cortical Development in hESC-Derived Cerebral Organoids

    Using an established human cerebral organoid model, scientists demonstrated that Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate exposure markedly suppressed cell proliferation and increased apoptosis, thus impairing the morphogenesis of the human cerebral cortex.

    Generation of Innervated Cochlear Organoid Recapitulates Early Development of Auditory Unit

    Scientists developed cochlear organoids with functional peripheral auditory circuity in a staging three-dimensional co-culture system by initially reprogramming cochlear progenitor cells with increased proliferative potency that could be long-term expanded.

    Frequent Loss of Metastatic Ability in Subclones of Apc, Kras, Tgfbr2, and Trp53 Mutant Intestinal Tumor Organoids

    Using intestinal metastatic tumor-derived organoids carrying Apc, Kras, Tgfbr2, and Trp53 quadruple mutations, the authors showed that approximately 30% of subclones of the organoids showed loss of metastatic ability to the liver.
