    Impaired Glycosylation of Gastric Mucins Drives Gastric Tumorigenesis and Serves as a Novel Therapeutic Target

    Using a Muc6 knockout mouse model, gastric organoids, and cell lines, the authors proposed that Golgi stress responses and aberrant glycans induced by mucin deletion were important drivers of gastric cancer.

    Neonatal Enteroids Absorb Extracellular Vesicles from Human Milk-Fed Infant Digestive Fluid

    Researchers developed an extracellular vesicle isolation pipeline from small volumes of human milk and neonatal intestinal contents after milk feeding to address the hypothesis that human milk contains extracellular vesicles survive in vivo neonatal digestion to be taken up intestinal epithelial cells.

    Blood Vessel Organoids Generated by Base Editing and Harboring Single Nucleotide Variation in Notch3 Effectively Recapitulate CADASIL-Related Pathogenesis

    The authors focused on in vitro modeling and therapeutic target finding of cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL), the most common form of hereditary stroke disorder caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 gene.

    Survival and Functional Integration of Human Embryonic Stem Cell–Derived Retinal Organoids after Shipping and Transplantation into Retinal Degeneration Rats

    Because the derivation of retinal organoids and transplantation is frequently split between geographically distant locations, investigators developed a special shipping device and protocol capable of the organoids’ delivery to any location.

    ‘Mini Liver’ Will Grow in Person’s Own Lymph Node in Bold New Trial

    A person has received an experimental treatment for the first time that, if successful, will lead them to grow an additional ‘miniature liver’. The procedure marks the beginning of a clinical trial designed for people whose livers are failing, but who have not received an organ transplant.
