Organoids are three-dimensional cell cultures that more accurately model cell behavior, organ function, and pathology than traditional two-dimensional cell culture. Organoid News was launched in 2020 to help scientists stay up-to-date with this revolutionary new research system. Use Organoid News to stay current with the latest applications and discoveries using organoids, as well as new reviews, jobs, news, and upcoming events.

A Genome-Scale CRISPR Screen Reveals Factors Regulating Wnt-Dependent Renewal of Mouse Gastric Epithelial Cells

Scientists investigated the in vivo role of Dhx15 in intestinal antibacterial responses by generating mice that were intestinal epithelial cell-specific deficient for Dhx15.

Stromal DLK1 Promotes Proliferation and Inhibits Differentiation of the Intestinal Epithelium during Development

Scientists used a novel co-culture system with E14.5 intestinal epithelial organoids to examine the microenvironmental cues that regulate the embryonic stem/progenitor population, focusing on the role of Notch pathway factor, Delta-Like Protein 1.

Pretreatment of Aged Mice with Retinoic Acid Supports Alveolar Regeneration via Upregulation of Reciprocal PDGFA Signaling

In vitro organoids generated from epithelial cells of mouse or patient with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis co-cultured with young, aged or retinoic acid-pretreated murine fibroblasts were used to test potential targets.
