Single-cell guided prenatal derivation of primary fetal epithelial organoids from human amniotic and tracheal fluids

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

Organoids of multiple different tissue types can be generated from cells collected from amniotic fluid samples, without termination of the pregnancy, according to a study in Nature Medicine.


The generation of primary organoids, from fetal fluid-derived epithelial stem or progenitor cells, offers the possibility of modeling different developing tissues during gestation, even beyond the limits of pregnancy termination.
