|
|
| Scientists reported the generation of multi-chambered self-paced vascularized human cardiac organoids formed under anisotropic stress and their applicability to the study of cardiac arrhythmia. [Nature Biomedical Engineering] |
|
|
|
| Researchers showed cardiac organoids engineered with electrically conductive silicon nanowires significantly enhanced the therapeutic efficacy of hPSC-derived cardiomyocytes to treat infarcted hearts. [Science Advances] |
|
|
|
| The authors generated iPSC-derived airway organoids (AOs) that resembled the human native airway. They subjected iPSC-AOs to SARS-CoV-2 infection and investigated the treatment effect of lipid modifiers statin drugs. [Journal of Advanced Research] |
|
|
|
| To investigate the effects of macrophage stimulation on gemcitabine resistance, co-cultures were set up using patient-derived organoids from three pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients with macrophages. [Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| Scientists applied sci-Plex, a single-cell combinatorial indexing-based RNA sequencing multiplexing method to retinal organoids. [Cell Reports Methods] |
|
|
|
| The authors investigated which entry route SARS-CoV-2 Omicron takes in relevant cell models of the human airway and intestine. [Journal of Virology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators analyzed the gene expression characteristics of neuronal organoids containing immature human retinal cells under low-dose radiation and predicted their changes. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers reported a long-awaited differential non-syndromic retinitis pigmentosa and Usher syndrome phenotype in three human disease-specific models: fibroblasts, iPSCs, and mature iPSC-derived retinal organoids. [HGG Advances] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors summarize the current understanding of potential mechanisms that drive SARS-CoV-2-induced cardiac dysfunction based on in vitro studies. [Bioengineering & Translational Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Scientists focus on recent advances in the application of organoids in cancer research and discuss the opportunities and challenges facing organoid research. [Experimental Hematology & Oncology] |
|
|
|
|
| Early-career researchers who work in labs operated by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) have hit a roadblock on their way to unionizing. [Science Insider] |
