| The authors used human fetal hepatocyte organoids to model the first stage of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, steatosis, representing three different triggers: free fatty acid loading, interindividual genetic variability, and monogenic lipid disorders. [Nature Biotechnology] |

|
| Using 3D immune-stem cell organoids, single-cell analysis of human emphysema lungs, and studies in murine models, researchers investigated aberrant tissue-immune interactions in emphysema. [Immunity] |

|
| Alpha kinase 3 (ALPK3) deficiency impaired contractility both in human cardiac organoids and in the hearts of mice harboring a pathogenic truncating Alpk3 variant. [Nature Cardiovascular Research] |
|
|
|
| The authors generated hiPSC lines using peripheral blood mononuclear cells from two male Fabry disease patients with different types of GLA mutations, and then generated kidney organoids using wild-type hiPSC and mutant hiPSCs. [Journal Of Translational Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Scientists established patient-derived organoid lines from ten patients with breast cancer and performed single-cell transcriptomic analysis. [Breast Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| Researchers biobanked airway organoids by preserving stem cell function, and then optimized viral infection with H1N1/PR8 and comprehensively characterized epithelial responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection in phenotypically stable airway organoids from 20 different subjects. [Stem Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators presented a 3D iPSC-derived paradigm—mature brain organoids—composed of cortical-like-astrocytes and neurons, and used these organoids to model TAR-DNA binding protein 43-related pathology. [Stem Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers identified a combination of triple transcription factors capable of efficiently reprogramming mouse fibroblasts into self-organized and networked induced autonomic ganglion organoids, and characterized them by immunostaining, qRT-PCR, patch-clamping, and scRNA-seq approaches. [iScience] |
|
|
|
| Scientists demonstrated that by mixing surface enhanced Raman scattering microsensors (SERS-MS) into the extracellular matrix (ECM) of airway organoid cultures, the probes could be engulfed by expanding organoids, and reported on local pH in the organoid lumen and ECM. [Chemical Communications] |
| |
|
|
|
| Investigators highlight the use of organoids and organs-on-chips as complementary reference tools in treating colorectal cancer from the perspective of clinical efficacy predictability. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| The authors review how the implementation of 3D organoid technology into tumor microenvironment-modeling platforms might facilitate the exploration of macrophage-targeted therapies in non-small cell lung cancer immunotherapeutic research. [Elife] |

|
| The money had been earmarked for UK involvement in the EU's Horizon Europe €100bn research programme. The funds have not been spent because the UK's association with the programme has been held up by the dispute over the Northern Ireland Protocol. [BBC News] |
