Matrix-free human lung organoids derived from induced pluripotent stem cells to model lung injury by Bettina Budeus, Chiara Kroepel, Lisa Marie Stasch, Diana Klein

“…Abstract Background Organoids, as near-physiological 3D culture systems, offer new opportunities to study the pathogenesis of various organs in mimicking the cellular complexity and functionality of human organs. Method Here we used a quite simple and very practicable method to successfully generate induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived human lung organoids (LuOrg) in a matrix-free manner as an alternative to the widely used preclinical mouse models in order to investigate normal lung damage in detail and as close as possible to the patient. …”
