Bioinspired Hydrogels for 3D Organoid Culture

Matthias Lütolf, Delphine Lorraine Perle Blondel

Organoids have stepped into the limelight as unique in vitro systems for modeling organ development, function and disease. This review provides a perspective on how chemically defined, bio-inspired hydrogels could be used for replacing ill-defined matrices ...

Engineering Stem Cell Self-organization to Build Better Organoids

Matthias Lütolf, Jonathan Brassard

Organoids form through self-organization processes in which initially homogeneous populations of stem cells spontaneously break symmetry and undergo in-vivo-like pattern formation and morphogenesis, though the processes controlling this are poorly characte ...

In vitro fate mapping of stem cell development at the single cell level

Vincent Trachsel

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are responsible for the continuous production of all blood cells. This unique ability has made it possible to successfully use HSCs in the clinical setting to remedy various blood disorders. However, despite six decades of r ...

Progress and potential in organoid research

Matthias Lütolf, Giuliana Rossi, Andrea Manfrin

Tissue and organ biology are very challenging to study in mammals, and progress can be hindered, particularly in humans, by sample accessibility and ethical concerns. However, advances in stem cell culture have made it possible to derive in vitro 3D tissue ...

In vitro modeling of complex microenvironmental regulation of stem cells

Yoji Tabata

Although stem cells hold tremendous potential for clinical applications, their in vitro manipulation remains very challenging. In vivo, stem cells reside in intricate 3D microenvironments, termed niche, in which many local and systemic extrinsic factors ar ...

EPFL2017

The application of stem cells in drug screening and regenerative therapy has led to important advances in basic biology and biomedicine. Such strategies require high cell numbers and the efficient maturation into faithful functional organ or tissue units. ...

Development of microfluidic devices for chemotaxis of primary stem cells

Zuzana Tatárová

Functional analysis of primary tissue-specific stem cells is hampered by their rarity. Here I developed greatly miniaturized microfluidic devices for the multiplexed, quantitative analysis of the chemotactic properties of primary, bone marrow-derived mesen ...

Microfluidic co-culture platform to quantify chemotaxis of primary stem cells

Zuzana Tatárová

Functional analysis of primary tissue-specific stem cells is hampered by their rarity. Here we describe a greatly miniaturized microfluidic device for the multiplexed, quantitative analysis of the chemotactic properties of primary, bone marrow-derived mese ...

Bioengineering approaches to emulate the stem cell niche

Sylke Höhnel

Stem cell therapies hold tremendous potential for tissue and organ regeneration. Yet, there remains significant need for better ex vivo culture and manipulation methods. On the one hand, many tissue-specific stem cells cannot be propagated without causing ...

Microfluidic engineering of artificial stem cell niches

Simone Allazetta

Stem cells play a key role in a wide range of biological processes, in large part due to their ability to self-renew or differentiate into specialized cell types in response to various biological cues. In vivo, stem cells reside in a complex microenvironme ...
