Engineering hydrogel microenvironments for epithelial organoid culture

Antonius Chrisnandy

Organoids, miniature tissues generated from self-organizing stem cells within three-dimensional (3D) extracellular matrices (ECM), have opened up exciting possibilities for in vitro studies of complex physiological processes. A key factor in the success of ...

Bioengineered Tubular Biliary Organoids

Matthias Lütolf, Bilge Sen Elçi, Saba Rezakhani, Mikhail Nikolaev

Liver organoids have emerged as promising in vitro models for toxicology, drug discovery, and disease modeling. However, conventional 3D epithelial organoid culture systems suffer from significant drawbacks, including limited culture duration, a nonphysiol ...

Dissecting the role of biliary epithelial cells during non-alcoholic fatty liver disease progression

Ece Yildiz

The liver is the largest solid organ and the only one capable of using regenerative mechanisms to recover its mass fully. Although liver regeneration from acute injuries has been effective and extensively studied, chronic liver damage has adverse effects o ...

Complex three-dimensional in vitro organ-like models, or organoids, offer a unique biological tool with distinct advantages over two-dimensional cell culture systems, which can be too simplistic, and animal models, which can be too complex and may fail to ...

WILEY2022

In vitro models of human liver functions are used across a diverse range of applications in preclinical drug development and disease modeling, with particular increasing interest in models that capture facets of liver inflammatory status. This study invest ...

Engineering next generation organoids through guided stem cell self-organisation

Mikhail Nikolaev

One of the long-standing goals in the field of tissue engineering is the fabrication of de novo tissues or even organs to provide better tissue models for basic research and drug discovery, and to alleviate a shortage of donor organs in the future. Resear ...

Extracellular matrix requirements for gastrointestinal organoid cultures

Organoids are a new class of biological model systems that have garnered significant interest in the life sciences. When provided with the proper 3D matrix and biochemical factors, stem cells can self-organize and form tissue-specific organoids. Thus far, ...

Homeostatic mini-intestines through scaffold-guided organoid morphogenesis

Matthias Lütolf, Nathalie Brandenberg, Yoji Tabata, Nikolche Gjorevski, Mikhail Nikolaev, Nicolas Antoine Vincent Broguiere, Olga Mitrofanova, Devanjali Dutta

Epithelial organoids, such as those derived from stem cells of the intestine, have great potential for modelling tissue and disease biology(1-4). However, the approaches that are used at present to derive these organoids in three-dimensional matrices(5,6)r ...

High-throughput automated organoid culture via stem-cell aggregation in microcavity arrays

Matthias Lütolf, Gerardo Turcatti, George Coukos, Krisztian Homicsko, Nathalie Brandenberg, Fabien Kuttler, Camilla Carla Alma Ceroni, Nikolche Gjorevski

Stem-cell-derived epithelial organoids are routinely used for the biological and biomedical modelling of tissues. However, the complexity, lack of standardization and quality control of stem cell culture in solid extracellular matrices hampers the routine ...
