    Cyclic Stretching Triggers Cell Orientation and Extracellular Matrix Remodeling in a Periodontal Ligament 3d in Vitro Model

    Researchers developed a customized bioreactor that allowed dynamic loading of periodontal ligament-derived fibroblasts. A collagen-based hydrogel mixture was optimized to maintain structural integrity and constant cell growth during stretching.
    [Advanced Healthcare Materials]

    Abstract

    A Microwell Platform for High-Throughput Longitudinal Phenotyping and Selective Retrieval of Organoids

    Investigators developed a microwell-based method that enabled high-throughput quantification of image-based parameters for organoids grown from single cells, which could further be retrieved from their microwells for molecular profiling.
    [Cell Systems]

    Abstract

    Single-Cell Characterization of Neovascularization Using hiPSC-Derived Endothelial Cells in a 3D Microenvironment

    To investigate in vitro neovascularization and various 3D microenvironmental approaches, scientists designed a comprehensive single-cell transcriptomic study.

    Reliability of Human Retina Organoid Generation from hiPSC-Derived Neuroepithelial Cysts

    Researchers explored the efficiency and reliability of a differentiation method, called CYST protocol, that facilitated retina generation by forming neuroepithelial cysts from hiPSC clusters.
    [Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience]

    Abstract

    Human Organoids Are Superior to Cell Culture Models for Intestinal Barrier Research

    Investigators performed a detailed functional characterization of human intestinal organoid cultures under different conditions with the aim to suggest an optimized ex-vivo model to further analyze inflammation-induced intestinal epithelial barrier dysfunction.

    Abstract

    Cigarette Smoke Restricts the Ability of Mesenchymal Cells to Support Lung Epithelial Organoid Formation

    The authors assessed the effect of cigarette smoke-exposure and the endoplasmic reticulum stress inducer Thapsigargin on Wnt/β-catenin signaling activation in MRC-5 fibroblasts, and on their ability to support lung epithelial organoid formation.
