| The authors established a human cardioid platform that recapitulated the development of all major embryonic heart compartments, including right and left ventricles, atria, outflow tract, and atrioventricular canal. [Cell] |

|
| Researchers combined a 3D genome, RNA, accessibility and methylation sequencing method with immunoFACS and RNA sequencing in cortical organoids to map the cell-type-specific regulatory landscape of human neural development across multiple epigenetic layers. [Nature Cell Biology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists showed that initiating neural induction in a temporal stepwise gradient guided the generation of brain organoids composed of a single, self-organized apical-out neuroepithelium. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| The suitability of the microfluidic device for dynamic 3D cell culture was tested by growing human hepatocytes in the device under controlled fluid flow for a 14-day period. [Advanced Science] |
|
|
|
| Researchers demonstrated that microfluidic patient-derived cancer organoids were phenotypically and genotypically similar to the gold-standard Matrigel organoids with the advantages of 1) spheroid uniformity, 2) minimal cell number requirement, and 3) not relying on Matrigel. [Advanced Science] |
|
|
|
| Investigators found that N-acetylneuraminic acid synthase mutation resulted in the absence of both sialic acid and protein polysialylation in the cortical organoids and notably reduced the proliferation and expansion of neural progenitors. [Science Advances] |
|
|
|
| Scientists showed that the PTENG132D allele disrupted early neuroectoderm formation during the first several days of organoid generation, and results in deficient electrophysiology. [Molecular Psychiatry] |
|
|
|
| Researchers derived organoids from the small intestine from a cohort of healthy individuals. Culturing intestinal epithelium on a flat laminin matrix induced their differentiation, facilitating analysis of microbial responses via the apical membrane normally exposed to the luminal content.

|
|
| A porous gold membrane electrode was placed directly beneath the cells for in situ and real-time measurements of nitrous oxide. [Analytical Chemistry] |

|
|
| The authors describe the significance of patient-derived microphysiological systems in precision medicine as well as their unique capacity to offer valuable insights into individual patient characteristics. [Advanced Healthcare Materials] |

|
| The whole genomes of 500,000 people in the UK Biobank will help researchers to probe our genetic code for links to disease. [Nature News] |
