An Organoid Model Of The Human Midbrain
In Parkinson’s disease dopaminergic neurons are irrecoverably lost from the midbrain resulting in slowed movement, tremors and other symptoms. Dopamine augmentation is the main treatment for Parkinson’s, however, there is no cure available that can reverse the symptoms, partly...
A Living Biobank Of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Organoids
Globally, cancer of the lung is the most common cause of
cancer related mortality. It is also the most commonly diagnosed. 3D patient derived
organoids provide a more faithful model of cancer than 2D in vitro cell
culture and represent a model...
New Alzheimer’s Disease Organoids Enable Drug Discovery
Scientists at Scripps Research have reported for the first
time that Alzheimer’s patient-derived stem cells, which are engineered to
become “mini-brains” for lab research. The organoids manifest excessive
seizure-like electrical activity just like human patients with the disease,
enabling drug discovery. Scripps Research ranks...
New Papers Discuss The Science And Ethics Of Human Brain Organoids
Research involving the transplantation of human “mini-brains”—known as brain organoids—into animals to study disease can provide crucial insight’s into disease. Medical ethicist’s have raised a concern that must be considered. There is the possibility, however minute, that the grafted...

Proteostasis Therapeutics Contributes To HIT-CF Europe Cystic Fibrosis Organoid Drug Screens
Proteostasis Therapeutics, Inc., has announced that it has been invited to join the HIT-CF Europe, a pan European strategic initiative which seeks to validate a personalized therapy approach for cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with extremely rare genetic mutations. Founded in...
The Use of RFID in Biobanking: a Focus on Tracking and Storing Organoids
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) automatically identifies and tracks tags attached to objects. The tags can contain various electronically stored information. The advantage of RFID over a barcode is that the tags may be embedded within the tracked object, as the...
STEMCELL Technologies Licenses Inner Ear Organoid Culture Technique
The ability to hear music and keep balanced when upright is dependent on mechanosensory “hair cells” in the inner ear that convert vibrations into electrical signals . They are located inside the organ of Corti within the snail-shaped cochlea...
