    Generation of Complex Bone Marrow Organoids from Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

    Investigators presented a method for generating complex bone marrow-like organoids (BMOs) from hiPSCs. BMOs consisted of cell types that self-organized into three-dimensional structures mimicking cellular, structural, and molecular characteristics of the hematopoietic microenvironment.

    Abstract

    Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Planar Neural Organoids Assembled on Synthetic Hydrogels

    Researchers performed human neural organoids from iPSC-derived progenitor cells in two distinct formats: (i) cells seeded on a Matrigel surface; and (ii) cells seeded on a synthetic polyethylene glycol hydrogel surface.
