    Multimodal Spatiotemporal Phenotyping of Human Retinal Organoid Development

    Researchers generated multiplexed protein maps over a retinal organoid time course and primary adult human retinal tissue. They also generated a single-cell transcriptome and chromatin accessibility timecourse dataset and inferred a gene regulatory network underlying organoid development.

    An In Vivo Neuroimmune Organoid Model to Study Human Microglia Phenotypes

    The authors developed an in vivo xenotransplantation approach that allowed for the study of functionally mature human microglia that operated within a physiologically relevant, vascularized immunocompetent human brain organoid model.

    Sirtuin 6 Is Required for the Integrated Stress Response and Resistance to Inhibition of Transcriptional Cyclin-Dependent Kinases

    In human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cell lines and organoids, researchers demonstrated that histone deacetylase sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) loss both defined the basal PDAC subtype and led to reduced activating transcription factor 4 protein stability, and a nonfunctional integrated stress response.

    Abstract

    USP7 Controls NGN3 Stability and Pancreatic Endocrine Lineage Development

    Pharmacological inhibition of USP7 during endocrine specification in human iPSC models of beta-cell differentiation decreased Neurogenin 3 (NGN3) expressing progenitor cell numbers and impaired beta cell differentiation.

    Healthy and Diseased Placental Barrier On-a-Chip Models Suitable for Standardized Studies

    Researchers reported an in vitro model of the placental barrier, based on co-culture of trophoblasts and endothelial cells against a collagen extracellular matrix in a microfluidic platform.

    Single-Cell Transcriptome Analysis of Xenotransplanted Human Retinal Organoids Defines Two Migratory Cell Populations of Nonretinal Origin

    Investigators transplanted human retinal organoid-derived cells into photoreceptor-deficient mice and conducted histology and single-cell RNA sequencing alongside time-matched cultured retinal organoids.

    Transplanted Human Intestinal Organoids: A Resource for Modeling Human Intestinal Development

    Researchers analyzed a time course of transplanted human intestinal organoid (HIOs) histologically at two, four, six, and eight weeks post-transplantation, and demonstrated that HIO maturation closely resembled key stages of fetal human intestinal development.

    Next Generation Organoid Engineering to Replace Animals in Cancer Drug Testing

    Scientists highlighted some of the traditional preclinical models used in cancer drug testing and debated how next generation organoids are being used to replace not only animal models, but also some of the more elementary in vitro approaches, such as cell lines.

    Human Embryo Science: Can the World’s Regulators Keep Pace?

    Outside the Third International Summit on Human Genome Editing, protesters held banners that read “Stop designer babies” and “Never again to eugenics”, calling for a ban on human genome editing. It was a reminder of the ethical quandaries that embryo science and genome editing can present.
