| Scientists generated self-organizing hiPSC-derived epicardioids that displayed retinoic acid-dependent morphological, molecular, and functional patterning of the epicardium and myocardium typical of the left ventricular wall. [Nature Biotechnology] |

|
| Researchers reported a method for converting hESCs into ventral thalamic organoids with transcriptionally diverse nuclei identities. [Cell Stem Cell] |
|
|
|
| The authors employed global proteomic and single-cell genomic approaches in stable cell lines as well as iPSC-derived neurons and midbrain organoids to dissect the mechanisms underlying β-glucocerebrosidase-related neurodegeneration. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| CD70 blocking reverted regulatory T cell-mediated suppression and thus reinvigorated CD8+ T-cell immunity. Anti-CD70+ anti-PD-1 therapy was evaluated in xenograft-derived organoids and humanized mice, exhibiting an improved tumor-killing efficacy. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Harmine was identified as a hit compound based on phenotypic screening of a 2D assay and patient-derived organoid model that was established from a patient with multiple drug resistance and breast metastases. [Cancer Letters] |
|
|
|
| Investigators described the establishment of atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) tumoroid models from two subgroups, and demonstrated that ATRT tumoroids retained subgroup-specific epigenetic and gene expression profiles. [Oncogene] |
|
|
|
| To identify drug candidates to maintain photoreceptor survival, scientists performed an unbiased, high-throughput screening of over 6,000 bioactive small molecules using retinal organoids differentiated from iPSCs of rd16 mouse, which was a model of Leber congenital amaurosis type 10. [Elife] |
|
|
|
| The authors developed an approach to induce hair peg-like sprouting in organoid cultures composed of epithelial and mesenchymal cells. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers studied induced hyperexcitability in human cerebral cortical organoids – setting the groundwork for neonatal seizure modelling – using electrophysiological techniques and pharmacological manipulations. [Heliyon] |
| |
|
|
|
| The authors depict the possibility of evaluating changes related to both Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease in retinal organoids obtained from potential patients long before the onset of the disease, constituting a valuable tool in early diagnosis. [Seminars In Cell & Developmental Biology] |

|
|
| PathAI announced the launch of PathExploreâ„¢, the world’s first structured, standardized, and scalable panel of human interpretable features offering unprecedented resolution of the tumor microenvironment from H&E whole-slide images. [PathAI (PR Newswire, Inc.)] |
