| Two autophagy-related genes, myristoylated alanine rich protein kinase C substrate (MARCKS) and thioredoxin interacting protein (TXNIP), marked high-plasticity gastric cancer with poorer prognosis, and autophagy inhibitors induced apoptosis in patient-derived organoids. [Nature Communications] |

|
|
| The authors developed a machine-learning framework for comparative gene expression analysis of brains and organoids to identify conserved and specific developmental trajectories, as well as developmentally expressed genes and functions, especially at cellular resolution. [Cell Reports Methods] |
|
|
|
| Transplanted organoids were established from sulfomucin-enriched region into the injured recipient epithelium following dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis and analyzed the engrafted epithelium in mouse model. [Journal of Gastroenterology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators demonstrated two different engineering approaches, the rotating cell culture system microgravity bioreactor and a newly designed microfluidic platform to improve harvestability, reproducibility, and the survival of high-quality cerebral organoids and compare with those of traditional spinner and shaker systems. [Communications Biology] |
|
|
|
| The authors presented a microvasculature-on-chip model to investigate the singular effect of extracellular matrix stiffness and mechanical cyclic stretch on vascular development. [iScience] |
|
|
|
| Scientists measured mechanoinduced changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentration in tubules isolated from organoids cultured for 21-64 days, microperfused in vitro or affixed to the base of a specimen chamber, and loaded with fura-2 to measure Ca2+ concentration. [American Journal Of Physiology-Cell Physiology] |

|
|
| Researchers investigated miR-23b-3p function during receptivity. qPCR and in situ hybridization were used to investigate the expression and localization of miR-23b-3p in human endometrium, respectively. [Reproduction] |
|
|
|
| Using human intestinal mini-gut organoids, multiplex RNA FISH and single cell RNA sequencing, investigators were able to determine the intestinal cell type specific response to virus infection. [Biophysical Journal] |
|
|
|
| Scientists established bovine lung tissue decellularization for the first time via pursuing four different protocols and characterization of reconstituted decellularized lung extracellular matrix hydrogels for biochemical and mechanical properties. [ACS Applied Bio Materials] |
| |
|
|
|
| The authors discuss how 3D cancer model systems are applied to deconstruct and engineer the tumor microenvironment, opening opportunities to model primary tumors, metastasis and responses to anticancer treatment. [Nature Reviews Materials] |
|
|
|
| To evaluate patients who will respond to a particular treatment, there is a need to develop in vitro model systems that replicate in vivo tumor status. Scientists discuss the challenges and opportunities for developing such systems to model head and neck tumor biology. [British Journal Of Cancer] |

|
|
| Xilis and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center announced a strategic collaboration to deploy Xilis’s proprietary MicroOrganoSphereâ„¢ technology in support of pre-clinical research to accelerate the development of novel cancer therapies. [Xilis (Cision US, Inc.)] |
