Recent advances in liver organoids and their use in modeling of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [PDF]
Organoid, 2022 The liver is involved in physiological activities critical for survival. Chronic liver disease (CLD) frequently progresses to life-threatening liver failure, as evidenced by CLD patients’ high morbidity and mortality rates.

Pulmonary alveolar type I cell population consists of two distinct subtypes that differ in cell fate. [PDF]
, 2018 Pulmonary alveolar type I (AT1) cells cover more than 95% of alveolar surface and are essential for the air-blood barrier function of lungs. AT1 cells have been shown to retain developmental plasticity during alveolar regeneration.

Organoids and Colorectal Cancer [PDF]
Cancers, 2021 Organoids were first established as a three-dimensional cell culture system from mouse small intestine. Subsequent development has made organoids a key system to study many human physiological and pathological processes that affect a variety of tissues and organs. In particular, organoids are becoming very useful tools to dissect colorectal cancer (CRC)
