Modeling Development and Disease with Organoids

TL;DR: 3D culture technology allow embryonic and adult mammalian stem cells to exhibit their remarkable self-organizing properties, and the resulting organoids reflect key structural and functional properties of organs such as kidney, lung, gut, brain and retina, and hold promise to predict drug response in a personalized fashion.

Organoid Models of Human and Mouse Ductal Pancreatic Cancer

Sylvia F. Boj, +73 more
- 15 Jan 2015 - 
TL;DR: Comprehensive transcriptional and proteomic analyses of murine pancreatic organoids revealed genes and pathways altered during disease progression that demonstrate that organoids are a facile model system to discover characteristics of this deadly malignancy.

A Landscape of Pharmacogenomic Interactions in Cancer

TL;DR: It is reported how cancer-driven alterations identified in 11,289 tumors from 29 tissues can be mapped onto 1,001 molecularly annotated human cancer cell lines and correlated with sensitivity to 265 drugs.

Single Lgr5 stem cells build crypt-villus structures in vitro without a mesenchymal niche.

TL;DR: It is concluded that intestinal crypt–villus units are self-organizing structures, which can be built from a single stem cell in the absence of a non-epithelial cellular niche.

Identification of stem cells in small intestine and colon by marker gene Lgr5

TL;DR: The expression pattern of Lgr5 suggests that it marks stem cells in multiple adult tissues and cancers, suggesting that it represents the stem cell of the small intestine and colon.
Journal ArticleDOI

Paneth cells constitute the niche for Lgr5 stem cells in intestinal crypts

TL;DR: It is concluded that Lgr5 stem cells compete for essential niche signals provided by a specialized daughter cell, the Paneth cell, in colon crypts, and co-culturing of sorted stem cells with Paneth cells markedly improves organoid formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crypt stem cells as the cells-of-origin of intestinal cancer

TL;DR: It is concluded that stem-cell-specific loss of Apc results in progressively growing neoplasia in long-lived intestinal stem cells.
