How to feed mini-organs

Organoids, lab-grown mini-organs, hold the promise for better understanding of human biology. But these microscopic organ-like blobs of cells fall short of real organs in a lot of ways. For one, their size is limited to less than half of a millimeter in diameter — any larger and their internal cells start dying because nutrients from the liquid they’re grown in can’t diffuse past a certain distance. Scientists are now making lab-grown mini-organs more lifelike by adding blood vessels.

Led by @jsidhaye & @PhilippTrepte at the @Knoblich_lab, scientists produced human telencephalic #BrainOrganoids grown using a dual reporter cell line to isolate neural progenitors and neurons for analyses. 🏫 @IMBA_Vienna

Using iPSC-derived human #BrainOrganoids, Dr. Alysson Muotri at @UCSanDiego and team showed that SARS-CoV-2 can productively replicate and promote death of #NeuralCells, including cortical neurons.
