Self-organizing neural organoids recreate the coordinated development of the spinal cord and peripheral sensory nervous system, enabling studies of development, disease, and drug effects. 🧫

Thank you to @stemcellpodcast for featuring our recent study published in Developmental Cell.
A couple of days ago, I watched a live recording of the Stem Cell Podcast for the first time. It was a really enjoyable experience.
This quoted post is unavailable.
Glad to be invited by the @AllenInstitute, @ISSCR and @SocDevBio to visit Allen Institute for symposium. The commitment of the Institute and societies to supporting early-career researchers, irrespective of nationality, is impressive.

Hosting a Mini-Organoid Symposium at #HKUMed with Gui-Wei He (SZ Bay Lab)!
🗓Sept 30, 1–4pm
📍3SR-LT2, 3 Sassoon Rd, HK
Gut, brain, heart, liver & cancer organoids.
Speakers: Nick Barker, Yangfei Xiang, Joe Zhang, Gui-Wei He & Rio Sugimura.
All welcome! #Organoids
Looking forward to the Stem Cell & Developmental Biology Early Career Symposium in Seattle on September 23–25, 2026. bit.ly/4p98dkv
Glad to share our work published in DC. This study developed a method that enables simultaneous derivation and self-organized co-development of central and peripheral neural tissues, providing a new platform for studying neurodevelopmental disorders and drug evaluation.

🚨 New method alert!
@ShanghaiTechUni researchers report a method to differentiate #hPSCs into 3D #NeuralOrganoids that resemble peripheral sympathetic ganglia, producing both neurons and glial cells of the ganglia in a self-organized manner: bit.ly/4pHS9GX

Online Now! Human PSC-derived organoids model sympathetic ganglion development and its functional crosstalk with the heart dlvr.it/TPmKDS #stemcells
We are pleased to share our latest progress in human neural organoids, recently published in Cell Stem Cell @CellStemCell. cell.com/cell-stem-cell/full…
2/4 We also developed a system to reconstruct functional connections between the human sympathetic ganglion and the heart, and found that inter-tissue crosstalk promote the development of both human sympathetic and cardiac tissues.
1/4 In this study, we achieved self-organized and enriched production of human sympathetic lineages in 3D culture. Sympathetic neurons and satellite glial cells were generated robustly and exhibited long-term structural and functional development.
Looking forward to sharing our latest research progress at the conference.

Excited to share that our recent research has been published in @CellStemCell. This study has achieved simultaneous production and self-organized development of human neural, muscular and skeletal tissues within individual organoids. cell.com/cell-stem-cell/full…
There is no need to separately differentiate and co-culture different lineages, which will facilitate future applications.
I’m glad to share that our recent study on human SpV organoids has been featured on the cover of the October issue of @CellStemCell！
Our October issue is live! The cover features a story from @Yangfei_Lab making human medullary spinal trigeminal nucleus organoids, the information hub of the brain. Other highlights include a Review from @Marta_Shahbazi @vincentpasque on human development and embryo models, @leo_jwu on barriers to interspecies chimerism, @boroviak_lab comparing trophoblast stem cells across species, and more! cell.com/issue/S1934-5909(23…
