|
|
| A scalable system was proposed to generate pre-vascularized and functional human beige adipose tissue organoids using the human stromal vascular fraction of white adipose tissue as a source of adipose and endothelial progenitors. [Advanced Science] |
|
|
|
| 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] |
|
|
|
| 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] |
|
|
|
| To investigate in vitro neovascularization and various 3D microenvironmental approaches, scientists designed a comprehensive single-cell transcriptomic study. [Stem Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| 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] |
|
|
|
| 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. [Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology] |
|
|
|
| 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. [Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology] |
|
|
|
| The TRIPLEX study was a single-center observational study conducted to investigate the feasibility of generating patient-derived tumor organoids from triple negative breast cancer and to evaluate their ability to predict clinical response. [BMC Cancer] |
|
|
|
| To facilitate in vitro mechanistic studies in pelvic inflammatory disease and subsequent tubal factor infertility, researchers established patient tissue-derived fallopian tube organoids. [Reproductive Sciences] |
| |
|
|
|
| Scientists review the available applications of organoids in regenerative medicine and the current challenges concerning this field. [Stem Cells] |
|

|
|
| Despite negative feedback from the research community, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) will move forward with a policy requiring that foreign scientists receiving ‘subawards’ from the agency must share their laboratory notebooks and other raw data with their research partner in the US.
