Join @stemcellreports.bsky.social and @bacell3d.bsky.social on 4 November to learn how organoid models are being used to study human development, infection, tissue dynamics, and cancer across various organ systems. Features Short Talk Winners! Register today👉 bit.ly/4o46DzZ

Join us on November 4th!
The winners of our best short talk awards will be telling their research on the @isscr.org stage!
Thank you @stemcellreports.bsky.social for co-organizing this webinar!

Tina Buerki-Thurnherr from EMPA talked about the effect of nanoparticles on in vitro models of placenta

Katie Kubek from @novartis.bsky.social showed the work they have been doing with dog intestinal organoids 🐶 Exciting insights into serotonin signalling in mammals!

Bence György from @iobswiss.bsky.social presented their AAV-mediated therapies to restore retina function in vitro

Incredibly impressed by the student/postdoc run @bacell3d.bsky.social conference. Great talks, a vibrant community, and so well organised 👏

Prostate cancer is difficult to grow in vitro. Robin Dolgos found a way to overcome this, surprisingly without Matrigel!

Have you ever thought about tumor microbiome? @jenspuschhof.bsky.social introduced us to tumor-resident E. Coli!

Highlights from our day1 conference dinner and networking event at the local favorite multi-cuisine bar and restaurant-Klara. Nerdy N2 B27 shots to welcome everyone , table soccer tournament, music and lots of discussions !

We are very excited to close this years meeting with a keynote talk by Prof Jason Spence from @umich.edu. Understanding human lung development with bud tip, airway and Alveolar type2 (AT2)organoids. Unexpected transcriptional heterogeneity found in early postnatal AT2 cells occupying distinct niches

A selected talk from @clarissebrunet.bsky.social investigating gliogenesis in brain organoids 🧠

Amazing presentation by @mendjanlab.bsky.social explaining the potential of human cardioids. Increasing complexity step by step to generate more in vivo-like organoids!

@maxmmahe.bsky.social Human intestinal organoids mature much faster when transplanted in vivo. Surprising discoveries on tubular organoids demonstrating higher cellular complexity!

The metastatic odyssey for understanding breast cancer, the oldest cancer to be described in human history. Developing personalised medicine by understanding the molecular behavior of breast cancers stem cells by Mohamed Bentires-Alj @unibas.ch

Elisa Magistrati presented her work on modeling trophoblast invasion in vitro

Beautiful selected talk by Hao-An Hsiung from EPFL showing us human trunk assembloids with remarkable cell diversity, notochord and the gut tube!

Our 3rd new PI highlight talk is by Prof David Bruckner @davidbrueckner.bsky.social who just started his group in theoretical physics of living systems @biozentrum.unibas.ch on “Information flow in self-organized developmental system

Takanori Takebe joined from the U.S. to share his latest research on multi-zonal liver organoids, including new findings on generating liver bud organoids that incorporate sinusoidal vessels!

The supremely successful panel discussion from last years @bacell3d.bsky.social is back! What do you wanna ask??

Lisa-Marie Erlansdotter from @microorganolab.bsky.social presented her work on neuroinflammation-on-chip!

A great talk by @adrianranga.bsky.social on in vitro neural tube morphogenesis! Interesting findings on the role of calcium waves preceding tissue movements!

A project initiated during a pandemic! Samy Gobaa told us about their bioengineering approaches on modeling infections in human lung-on-chip 🫁

Selected talk by Amanzhol Kurmashev about “3D human urothelial model for real-time analysis of bacterial infection dynamics and therapeutic interventions" @ethz.ch @eth-bsse.bsky.social @nccr-antiresist.bsky.social

We are very happy to have Reiner Wimmer with us talking about his work done at Pathology and applied safety sciences (PaSS) at Roche pRED. Check out his work on developing vascular organoid models for investigative toxicology

And it’s ongoing , in development, evolving!

Very excited to have Prof. Chris Tape (University College London, UK) “Single-cell Phenoscaping of Tumour Microenvironment Organoids @christophertape.bsky.social What makes the phenotype of a cell?

Last two weeks in his PhD !selected talk by Antoine Aubert (CEA Genoscope, FR)
“Tracking molecular deregulated gene programs within cerebral organoids modeling Alzheimer’s disease hallmarks” sysfate.org

We are very excited to hear Lauriane Cabon from IHB, Roche, CH presenting “Next-Generation Drug Discovery: Harnessing the Power of Advanced Multicellular Systems
