Evaluating CRISPR-Based Prime Editing for Cancer Modeling and CFTR Repair in Organoids
[Life Science Alliance] Investigators explored the use of prime editing in human organoids. Common TP53 mutations can be correctly modeled in human adult stem cell–derived colonic organoids with efficiencies up to 25% and up to 97% in hepatocyte organoids.

Single-Cell-Resolved Differentiation of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells into Pancreatic Duct-Like Organoids on a Microwell Chip
[Nature Biomedical Engineering] Researchers reported the single-cell characterization of the differentiation of pancreatic duct-like organoids from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) on a microwell chip that facilitated the uniform aggregation and chemical induction of hiPSC-derived pancreatic progenitors.
