🎉 Read about how human #liver #cholangiocyte #organoids capture the heterogeneity of liver ductal epithelium. Out now in Cell Reports🧑‍🔬

Up, up and beyond 🚀 Exciting work lies ahead (and above)👩‍🚀

Human liver cholangiocyte organoids capture the heterogeneity of in vivo liver ductal epithelium Human liver ductal epithelium is morphologically, functionally, and transcriptionally heterogeneous. Understanding the impact of this heterogeneity ha…

We’re kicking off the year with an important milestone! 🎉 Javier just published his first-author paper on how human #liver #cholangiocyte #organoids capture the heterogeneity of liver ductal epithelium in Cell Reports.

Nice Xmas gift from and for the lab 🎁 🎄

Patient-specific human liver model to understand disease mechanisms Dresden research team develops human modular “LEGO-like” model that lays foundation for a new era in liver research.

Researchers from @merihuchlab.bsky.social, together with colleagues from @labshevchenko.bsky.social and clinicians from Dresden and Leipzig developed a patient-specific human periportal liver assembloid. Publication in @nature.com. Full news: www.mpi-cbg.de/news-outreac...

thanks a lot Andre, Pavel and everyone for the wonderful comments!

@mpi-cbg.de ends the year with a bang. Congratulations @merihuchlab.bsky.social and team.

thanks a lot Andre!! Happy Christmas present !!!!

Beyond the beginning – development that lasts a lifetime Traditionally, developmental biology has been considered the study of the embryo, and significant events such as metamorphosis or birth signify the pinnacle of development. However, we now better appr...

End of the @events.embl.org Symposium on Organoids #eesorgan last week - our @embojournal.org editor Ieva Gailite had the pleasure to hand one of the poster prizes to Sagarika Dawka from @merihuchlab.bsky.social

From Bon-Kyoung Koo's Organoids Zoo & Vincenzo Corbo's pancreatic cancer models to Miki Ebisuya-Matsuda's early forebrain development research and the concluding keynote lecture by Matthias Lutolf:There is much to look forward to on the fourth and final day of #EESOrgan

@events.embl.org @embo.org

In 2016, Juergen Knoblich was an organizer for the first #EESOrgan.

Today,he gave a magnificent talk about cerebral organoids that help to recapitulate processes occurring in humans after birth and linked to various developmental disorders.

Amazing research 🤯

@events.embl.org|@embl.org|@embo.org

Good morning from Day 3 of #EESOrgan! We’re kicking things off with Session 4: 'Organoids in regenerative medicine'. We hope you enjoy today’s talks, make new connections, and take home fresh insights to inspire your research. 💡

Day 2 of #EESOrgan:
Many different organoids,methods and applications!Highlights:"Generation of urinary tract organoids from human pluripotent stem cells"by Minoru Takasato&"Changing kidney Organoid formats for improved drug development and tissue engineering" by Melissa Little.Can't wait for Day 3!

Amazing talk by Paola Arlotta (Harvard Stem Cell Institute) to kick off #EESOrgan
Hugely impressive:They were able to culture brain organoids for 5 years,and created complex models through co-culturing cells from different brain regions.
Also enjoyable:A short discussion about brain organoid ethics😇

Organoids: modelling organ development and disease in 3D

Excited to join the #EESOrgan as an interdisciplinary event reporter next week.

Organoids are transforming biology, disease modelling, and regenerative medicine 🧬🩺

Looking forward to four days of fascinating talks by leading experts, interesting discussions, and much food for thought.

Congratulations 🥂 to our PhD student Sagarika who won the #PosterPrize at #EESOrgan @events.embl.org organized by Meri Huch, Madeleine Lancaster @lancasterlab.bsky.social, Karl R. Koehler and Esther Schnapp.

Great Work! 👍
