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 -

Despite advances in medicine and treatment methods, mortality rates have hardly decreased in recent decades. Reliable patient-derived tumor models offer the chance to predict therapy response in a personalized setting, thereby improving treatment efficacy by identifying the most appropriate treatment regimen for each patient. Furthermore, ex vivo tumor models enable testing of novel therapies before introduction in clinical practice. A literature search was performed to identify relevant literature describing three-dimensional ex vivo culture models of HNSCC to examine sensitivity to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapy. We provide a comprehensive overview of the currently used three-dimensional ex vivo culture models for HNSCC with their advantages and limitations, including culture success percentage and comparison to the original tumor. -
Brain Organoid
Agboola et al. 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. Keywords: Brain organoid, Disease model, Cellular composition, Cellular interactions, Neurological development Introduction specific region [2, 3]. The further development of our Organoids are in vitro-derived structures that undergo understanding of the development of the human nervous some level of self-organization and resemble, at least in system and elucidation of the mechanisms that lead to part, in vivo organs [1].

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. -

Ex Vivo Heart Perfusion Saifullah Hasan, BS and Castigliano M Bhamidipati, DO PhD MSc Oregon Health and Science University School of Medicine 3181 SW Sam Jackson Park Road, Portland, OR 97239 Abstract Heart transplantation offers the best prognostic results for patients with end stage heart failure. However, there is a much greater demand for donor hearts than there is adequate supply. Cold static storage (CSS) is the current standard protocol for donor heart procurement. CSS has excellent prognosis but subjects the organ to ischemic reperfusion injury (IRI) and induces tissue inflammation due to anoxic conditions and oxidative stress. Hearts from older donors or patients that have a history of previous heart disease can’t withstand the anoxic stressors and make for poor donor candidates with the CSS protocol since they are associated with worse prognostic outcomes, which restricts the donor pool for acceptable hearts. -

It potentially obviates the need for in vivo administration of exogenous growth factors, otherwise required to promote matrix synthesis, in addition to providing ‘off-the-shelf’ availability. Cryopreserved and primed BMSC microcapsules were evaluated in an in vitro surrogate co-culture model system with nucleus pulposus (NP) cells under intervertebral disc (IVD)-like culture conditions and in an ex vivo bovine organ culture disc model. BMSCs were microencapsulated in alginate microcapsules and primed for 14 d with transforming growth factor beta-3 (TGF-β3) under low oxygen conditions prior to cryopreservation. -
