Translational potential of human brain organoids [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2018
Abstract The recent technology of 3D cultures of cellular aggregates derived from human stem cells have led to the emergence of tissue‐like structures of various organs including the brain. Brain organoids bear molecular and structural resemblance with developing human brains, and have been demonstrated to recapitulate several ...

Brain Organoids to Evaluate Cellular Therapies

open access: yesAnimals, 2022
Animal models currently used to test the efficacy and safety of cell therapies, mainly murine models, have limitations as molecular, cellular, and physiological mechanisms are often inherently different between species, especially in the brain. Therefore, for clinical translation of cell-based medicinal products, the development of alternative models ...

Organs to Cells and Cells to Organoids: The Evolution of in vitro Central Nervous System Modelling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
With 100 billion neurons and 100 trillion synapses, the human brain is not just the most complex organ in the human body, but has also been described as “the most complex thing in the universe.” The limited availability of human living brain tissue for ...

Cis‐regulatory and long noncoding RNA alterations in breast cancer – current insights, biomarker utility, and the critical need for functional validation

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The noncoding region of the genome plays a key role in regulating gene expression, and mutations within these regions are capable of altering it. Researchers have identified multiple functional noncoding mutations associated with increased cancer risk in the genome of breast cancer patients.

Establishment of human cerebral organoid systems to model early neural development and assess the central neurotoxicity of environmental toxins

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research
Human brain development is a complex process, and animal models often have significant limitations. To address this, researchers have developed pluripotent stem cell-derived three-dimensional structures, known as brain-like organoids, to more accurately ...

Generation of Human Blood Vessel and Vascularized Cerebral Organoids

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2023
Brain organoids have been widely used to study diseases and the development of the nervous system. Many reports have investigated the application of brain organoids, but most of these models lack vascular structures, which play essential roles in brain ...

Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived glial cells and neural progenitors display divergent responses to Zika and dengue infections [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Maternal Zika virus (ZIKV) infection during pregnancy is recognized as the cause of an epidemic of microcephaly and other neurological anomalies in human fetuses. It remains unclear how ZIKV accesses the highly vulnerable population of neural progenitors

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

Beyond consciousness: Ethical, legal, and social issues in human brain organoid research and application

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Cell Biology
This study aims to provide a comprehensive review of the ethical, legal and social issues in human brain organoid research, with a view to different types of research and applications: in vitro research, transplantation into non-human animals, and ...

Investigating receptor-mediated antibody transcytosis using blood–brain barrier organoid arrays

open access: yesFluids and Barriers of the CNS, 2021
Background The pathways that control protein transport across the blood–brain barrier (BBB) remain poorly characterized. Despite great advances in recapitulating the human BBB in vitro, current models are not suitable for systematic analysis of the ...
