    Single-Cell Assessment of Primary and Stem Cell-Derived Human Trophoblast Organoids as Placenta-Modeling Platforms

    Using single-cell transcriptomics, scientists evaluated how organoids derived from freshly isolated first-trimester trophoblasts or from established uman trophoblast stem cell lines reproduce developmental cell trajectories and transcriptional regulatory processes defined in vivo.

    Effective AAV-Mediated Gene Replacement Therapy in Retinal Organoids Modelling AIPL1-Associated LCA4

    Researchers investigated the potential of adeno-associated virus-mediated aryl hydrocarbon receptor interacting protein-like 1 (AIPL1) gene replacement therapy in two previously validated human retinal organoid models of Leber congenital amaurosis subtype 4 (LCA4).

    ER Stress and Lipid Imbalance Drive Diabetic Embryonic Cardiomyopathy in an Organoid Model of Human Heart Development

    Using an advanced human heart organoid system, researchers simulated embryonic heart development under pregestational diabetes–like conditions. These organoids developed pathophysiological features including reactive oxygen species-mediated stress and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.

    Abstract

    PIEZO1-Halotag hiPSC Lines: A New Tool to Assay PIEZO1 Localization and Activity from Single Cells to Tissue Organoids

    Scientists used CRISPR engineering to fuse a HaloTag domain to endogenous PIEZO1 in a hiPSC line. As a control, they generated isogenic PIEZO1-HaloTag knockout hiPSCs.
