    Adaptable Hemodynamic Endothelial Cells for Organogenesis and Tumorigenesis

    Researchers demonstrated that ‘reset’ vascular endothelial cells established an adaptive vascular niche that differentially adjusted and conformed to organoids and tumoroids in a tissue-specific manner.

    YAP
    and AP-1 Cooperate to Initiate Pancreatic Cancer Development from Ductal Cells in Mice

    The authors clarify the unique consequences of YAP/TAZ activation in the ductal cell population of the pancreas by generating mice with pancreatic duct cell-specific, inducible knockouts of Lats1 and Lats2, the main kinases upstream of YAP/TAZ.

    Abstract

    Modeling
    Tumor Development and Metastasis Using Paired Organoids Derived from Patients with Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases

    Researchers generated paired organoids derived from primary tumors and matched liver metastases in the same colorectal cancer patients.

    The
    Gustatory Sensory G-Protein GNAT3 Suppresses Pancreatic Cancer Progression in Mice

    Compromised gustatory sensing, achieved by Gnat3 ablation, enhanced the CXCL1/2 – CXCR2 axis to alter the myeloid-derived suppressor cell population and promoted the progression of metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

    Human Cerebral Organoids Reveal Early Spatiotemporal Dynamics and Pharmacological Responses of UBE3A

    Human cerebral organoids revealed a change from weak to strong UBE3A in neuronal nuclei within three weeks of culture. Angelman syndrome human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived organoids also exhibited early silencing of paternal UBE3A, with topoisomerase inhibitors partially rescuing UBE3A levels and calcium transient phenotypes.

    Cancer Cell-Originated Lactate Promotes the Self-Renewal of Cancer Stem Cells in Patient-Derived Colorectal Cancer Organoids

    Organoid models were employed to show that cancer stem cells (CSCs) and non-CSCs in colorectal cancer were characterized by distinct metabolic phenotypes.
    [Cancer Letters]

    Abstract

    3D Co-Culture of Cancer-Associated Fibroblast with Oral Cancer Organoids

    The three-dimensional organoid model was employed to investigate whether co-culture with paralleled cancer-associated fibroblasts promoted stem-like properties of oral squamous cell carcinoma.
