Researchers from the laboratories
of Hiroshi Y. Yoshikawa and Hideki Taniguchi had previously demonstrated the in vitro formation
of a 3D transplantable liver «organ bud» from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) co-cultured with mesenchymal and endothelial progenitors, and allows for the growth
of a small
vascularized and functional organ [1 - 3].
Now, in a new study in Cell Stem Cell, the group have begun to delineate the mechanisms controlling organ bud formation, and from these findings they have been able to describe a general methodology for the formation
of large
vascularized, complex organ buds from diverse organs using specific stem cell combinations [4].
