    Bioassembly of Multicellular Spheroids to Mimic Complex Tissue Structure Using Surface-Modified Magnetized Nanofibers

    The authors generated magnetized nanofibers by electrospinning magnetic nanoparticles dispersed in poly-L-lactic acid solution, which were then coated with polydopamine (PD). These PD-coated magnetic fibers had magnetic-responsive properties when incorporated into human dermal fibroblast spheroids.

    Gelatin-Based Hybrid Hydrogels as Matrices for Organoid Culture

    Scientists exploited the use of newly developed highly defined hydrogels as potential matrices for the culture of liver organoids and compared them to Matrigel and two hydrogels that were already researched in the field of organoid research.

    A Cell Therapy Approach Based on iPSC-Derived Midbrain Organoids for the Restoration of Motor Function in a Parkinson’s Disease Mouse Model

    By transplanting midbrain organoid cells into the striatum region of a 6-OHDA-lesioned Parkinson’s disease mouse model, researchers found that the transplanted cells survived and highly efficiently differentiated into dopaminergic neurons.
