  • The Organoid Handbook Building Better Organoids Introduction Organoid Culture
    THE ORGANOID HANDBOOK BUILDING BETTER ORGANOIDS INTRODUCTION ORGANOID CULTURE An organoid is a miniaturized version of an organ produced in vitro that shows realistic micro-anatomy, is capable of self-renewal While different methods, such as the use of low adhesion round bottom dishes and bioreactors, have been employed for organoid and self-organization, and exhibits similar functionality as the tissue of origin. Organoids are model systems that, in conjunction with generation, generally organoids are cultured in tissue culture plates while embedded in “domes” of purified extracellular matrix advances in cell reprogramming technology and gene editing methods, allow unprecedented insight into human development, hydrogels and submerged in organoid-specific culture medium. Multiple organoids are often cultured in one “dome” and, with media disease modeling, drug screening, and transplantation. changes, submerged organoids can remain in long-term culture to accommodate developmental and maturation timelines. Organoids can be classified into those that are tissue-derived and those that are pluripotent stem cell-derived. Tissue-derived Passage organoids typically originate from adult tissues while stem cell-derived organoids are established from embryonic (ESC) or induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). Researchers have devised methods to generate physiologically relevant organoid models for many organs, including the intestines, lung, brain, liver, lung, pancreas, and heart. While methods for generating organoids are still evolving, presently

  • Modelling Heme-Mediated Brain Injury Associated with Cerebral Malaria In
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Modelling heme-mediated brain injury associated with cerebral malaria in human brain cortical organoids Adriana Harbuzariu1*, Sidney Pitts1, Juan Carlos Cespedes1, Keri Oxendine Harp1, Annette Nti1, Andrew P. Shaw2, Mingli Liu1 & Jonathan K. Stiles1* Human cerebral malaria (HCM), a severe encephalopathy associated with Plasmodium falciparum infection, has a 20–30% mortality rate and predominantly afects African children. The mechanisms mediating HCM-associated brain injury are difcult to study in human subjects, highlighting the urgent need for non-invasive ex vivo human models. HCM elevates the systemic levels of free heme, which damages the blood-brain barrier and neurons in distinct regions of the brain. We determined the efects of heme on induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and a three-dimensional cortical organoid system and assessed apoptosis and diferentiation. We evaluated biomarkers associated with heme-induced brain injury, including a pro-infammatory chemokine, CXCL-10, and its receptor, CXCR3, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and a receptor tyrosine-protein kinase, ERBB4, in the organoids. We then tested the neuroprotective efect of neuregulin-1 (NRG-1) against heme treatment in organoids. Neural stem and mature cells diferentially expressed CXCL-10, CXCR3, BDNF and ERBB4 in the developing organoids and in response to heme-induced neuronal injury. The organoids underwent apoptosis and structural changes that were attenuated by NRG-1. Thus, cortical organoids can be used to model heme-induced cortical brain injury associated with HCM pathogenesis as well as for testing agents that reduce brain injury and neurological sequelae. Brain organoids are self-assembled three-dimensional (3D) aggregates derived from pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) with cell types and formations that mimic the embryonic human brain1–7.

Stem Cell Research & Therapy (2021) 12:430 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13287-021-02369-8 REVIEW Open Access Brain organoid: a 3D technology for investigating cellular composition and interactions in human neurological development and disease models in vitro Oluwafemi Solomon Agboola1, Xinglin Hu1, Zhiyan Shan1, Yanshuang Wu1* and Lei Lei1,2* Abstract The study of human brain physiology, including cellular interactions in normal and disease conditions, has been a challenge due to its complexity and unavailability. Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) study is indispensable in the study of the pathophysiology of neurological disorders. Nevertheless, monolayer systems lack the cytoarchitecture necessary for cellular interactions and neurological disease modeling. Brain organoids generated from human pluripotent stem cells supply an ideal environment to model both cellular interactions and pathophysiology of the human brain. This review article discusses the composition and interactions among neural lineage and non-central nervous system cell types in brain organoids, current studies, and future perspectives in brain organoid research. Ultimately, the promise of brain organoids is to unveil previously inaccessible features of neurobiology that emerge from complex cellular interactions and to improve our mechanistic understanding of neural development and diseases.

Consequently, research focuses on elucidating the underlying pathobiological mechanisms and establishing therapeutic strategies. In this context, intestinal organoids have emerged as a potent in vitro model as they faithfully recapitulate the structure and function of the intestinal segment they represent. Interestingly, human-like intestinal diseases also affect dogs, making canine intestinal organoids a promising tool for canine and comparative research. Therefore, we generated organoids from canine duodenum, jejunum and colon, and focused on simultaneous long-term expansion and cell differentiation to maximize applicability.

Organoids derived from adult stem cells can be established directly from diseased epithelium and matched normal tissues, and organoids can also be genetically manipulated by CRISPR-Cas9 technology. Applications of organoids in basic research involve the modeling of human development and diseases, including genetic, infectious and malignant diseases. Importantly, accumulating evidence suggests that biobanks of patient- derived organoids for many cancers and cystic fibrosis have great value for drug development and personalized medicine. In addition, organoids hold promise for regenerative medicine. In the present review, we discuss the applications of organoids in the basic and translational research.
