Mimicking embryonic growth to break barriers in organoid research

Organoids are made to model human organs and are promising for research and therapy, but there are limitations in their growth and function. A recent study by researchers at The University of Tokyo found that placenta-derived IL1α under hypoxic conditions, can greatly increase growth of human stem cell-derived liver organoids. By promoting liver progenitor cell expansion through a specific signaling pathway, this method offers a promising route to improve organoid models and regenerative…
