This Episode's Stem Cell Roundup:
- Human Cortical Organoids in Rat Brains – hiPSC-derived cortical organoids were transplanted into newborn rat brains, where they developed mature cell types that integrate into sensory and motivation-related circuits.
- Genome-Wide Association Studies in a Dish – Scientists used hiPSC-based screening to identify a new susceptibility locus for viral infection.
- Exploring HSC Expansion – Researchers found only limited HSC expansion in the fetal liver, challenging the widely-accepted dogma that the fetal liver is an expansion niche for HSCs during ontogeny.
- Mini-Bones to Model Cancer Metastasis – Scientists generated human mini-bones to model bone-developing tumors using patient-derived materials.
