Schlafen 11 is a Novel Target for Mucosal Regeneration in Ulcerative Colitis

An in vitro model using human colon organoids was established by 60 weeks of inflammatory stimulation. The key gene for mucosal injury caused by long-term inflammation was identified by microarray analysis. An in vivo model was established by xenotransplantation of organoids into mouse colonic mucosa.

Interleukin-28A Induces Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction in CD Patient-derived Intestinal Organoids

Crohn’s disease patient-derived intestinal organoids were characterized by differentiation gene markers and then exposed to TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-1β or LPS, or IL-28A with or without GLPG0634.

Neurodevelopmental Defects and Neurodegenerative Phenotypes in Human Brain Organoids Carrying Parkinson’s Disease-Linked DNAJC6 Mutations

To study the roles of DNAJC6 in Parkinson’s disease (PD) pathogenesis, scientists used human ESCs with CRISPR-Cas9-mediated gene editing. They showed that DNAJC6 mutations cause key PD pathologic features, i.e., midbrain-type dopamine neuron degeneration, pathologic α-synuclein aggregation, increase of intrinsic neuronal firing frequency, and mitochondrial and lysosomal dysfunctions in human midbrain-like organoid.

Crenolanib Regulates ERk and AKT/mTOR Signaling Pathways in RAS/BRAF-Mutated Colorectal Cancer Cells and Organoids

Scientists used multiple colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines to investigate the growth-inhibitory effect of crenolanib and its effect in combination with other cytotoxic agents. Primary cultures of patient-derived organoids, a model that reflects the heterogeneity of clinical CRC, were used to further validate the effects of crenolanib.

Functional Patient-Derived Cellular Models for Neuropsychiatric Drug Discovery

Scientists discuss a novel strategy for neuropsychiatric drug discovery which aims to address limitations by identifying disease-related functional responses in a variety of patient-derived cells, such as induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons and organoids or peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
