Drug-induced liver injury has always been a burden on drug development, calling for better in vitro liver models. In this study, we combined a protocol for developing human liver organoids from iPSCs and a microfluidic “chip” system towards that goal. – at Ann Arbor, MI

Exciting to share our work from a strong collaboration! Such great work by @DayFerrerTorres that we are thankful to be a part of.
It’s a super fun and exciting day in the @TheSpenceLab! An entirely new research direction for the lab studying the adult human esophagus led by @DayFerrerTorres. Collaboration with many colleagues including @SextonLabUM @Charles_J_Zhang umichTTML.org @MichaelDame1

As #COVID19 manifests differently in different tissues we study their effects on a wide variety of cell lines. Cardiomyocytes are particularly interesting because you can watch them beat! Great work from Carla, @psychsiren! – at Ann Arbor, MI

Needed a physiological lung model, so I made one in an “organ-on-chip” system grown with @tristanfrum’s airway basal cells. Air flow and stretch applied to mimic breathing results in mucosal and ciliated cells. Hope to validate this for #COVID19 and other diseases! @SextonLabUM
