Congratulations Meri 🥳🎉

Mini-Organe im All: 🌌 Ein Forschungsprojekt der #TUDresden untersucht, wie sich Schwerelosigkeit & kosmische Strahlung auf biologische Prozesse auswirken z. B. in Immun-, Nerven- & Muskelzellen. Dafür werden smartphonegroße Minilabore einige Wochen um die Erde kreisen. ℹ️ tud.link/j7nt5j

🎉 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)👩‍🚀

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. 🔗 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Huge congratulations, Javier! 🥂

The @merihuchlab.bsky.social at @mpi-cbg.de developed patient-specific human periportal liver #assembloids. Read the @nature.com#assembloidsarticle: https://go.nature.com/4qpL7Xw Get the breakdown in this week's episode: https://bit.ly/4p3izlj

Thanks to @stemcellpodcast.com for featuring our work in their most recent episode. If you are interested, give it a listen! 👂 bit.ly/3MVPI55

Nice Xmas gift from and for the lab 🎁 🎄

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.

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😇

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! 👍 #organoids #liver

Yesterday, our Master Student Marina successfully defended her thesis where she studied genetic mutations related to #MASLD and their effects on lipid trafficking in liver organoids. Congratulations, Marina! 🎉🎉
