    Single-Cell Guided Prenatal Derivation of Primary Fetal Epithelial Organoids from Human Amniotic and Tracheal Fluids

    Using single-cell analysis, scientists characterized the cellular identities present in human amniotic fluid. They identified and isolated viable epithelial stem/progenitor cells of fetal gastrointestinal, renal, and pulmonary origin.

    Preclinical Efficacy and Safety of Encapsulated Proliferating Human Hepatocyte Organoids in Treating Liver Failure

    Quality-controlled proliferating human hepatocytes (ProliHHs) were produced in mass and engineered as liver organoids to improve their maturity. Encapsulated ProliHHs liver organoids were intraperitoneally transplanted to treat liver failure animals.

    Patient Derived Tumoroids of High Grade Neuroendocrine Neoplasms for More Personalized Therapies

    Investigators established patient-derived tumoroids from biobanked tissue samples of advanced high-grade gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms patients and applied this model for targeted rapid ex vivo pharmacotyping, next-generation sequencing, and perturbational profiling.

    Integration of Kupffer Cells into Human iPSC-Derived Liver Organoids for Modeling Liver Dysfunction in Sepsis

    Scientists presented a strategy to generate liver organoids (LOs) containing Kupffer cells by recapitulating fetal liver hematopoiesis using iPSC-derived erythro-myeloid progenitors, the origin of tissue-resident macrophages, and hiPSC-derived LOs.

    Neuromuscular Organoids Model Spinal Neuromuscular Pathologies in C9orf72 Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

    With the C9orf72 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patient-derived iPSCs and isogenic controls, researchers used an neuromuscular organoid (NMO) system containing trunk spinal cord neural and peripheral muscular tissues to show that the ALS NMOs could model peripheral defects in ALS.

    Mass Spectrometry Imaging and Histology for the Analysis of Budding Intestinal Organoids

    Murine intestinal organoids were used to evaluate embedding in gelatin, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)-gelatin-CMC-sucrose, or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and polyvinylpyrrolidone solutions.

    We Should Be Open About Organoid Research to Avoid a Backlash

    Research that involves creating “mini-organs” from human cells, including those from fetuses, may leave people uncomfortable – so the best approach is to explain the reasoning behind the work and its potential benefits.
