Organoids, Stem Cells, and Spatial Transcriptomics! Looking forward to building this with @GiorgiaQuadrato @MarianiLabUSC and @USCStemCell. Thanks to @CIRMnews and @KeckMedicineUSC for all the support! Job adverts going out soon!!

To democratize access to lab-grown organ-like structures known as organoids and other advanced stem cell and transcriptomic technologies, @USCStemCell will launch the CIRM ASCEND Center. @CIRMnews stemcell.keck.usc.edu/3-95-m…

Kidney cells from stem cells. Yep, it's happening.
Nils Lindström, PhD, of the @LindstromLab at @USCStemCell explains the process of turning stem cells into organoids, a pathway to identifying new treatments for kidney disease.

Well done to MaryAnne Achieng who has made microscopy of organoids an artform.

How do you break symmetry along a cell planar axis? Of course WNT/BMP/FGF/NOTCH compete and talk. Each nephron is like an embryo patterning along its AP axis. @LindstromLab @USCStemCell

Great to have the chance to discuss the future of kidney organoid technologies and the basis of kidney development & function with Jess @JMVanslambrouck Looking forward to more collaborations and insights to make next generation stem cell derived kidney models!

Pleased to be sharing this chapter written with Nils @LindstromLab for Current Topics in Developmental Biology! Here we dive into how #nephrons establish proximal-distal patterning during #KidneyDevelopment & what this means for #StemCell-derived nephrons: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kWLp…

Check out Mark Corkins’ collaborative preprint with @AdRoMora from our lab and MaryAnne Achieng from @LindstromLab using comparative single-cell sequencing and in situ to create this beautiful spatial model of the developing adult frog kidney!

The outer ear is a mammalian innovation but where did it come from? In our study in @Nature, @MathiThiru95 and colleagues find that the outer ear arose from modification of an ancestral gill program first originating in marine invertebrates. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Such a great collaboration with @LeonardoMorsut and his team - am now certain that the way forward is through collaborations like these where devbio and synbio co-develop concepts. #wewillbuildakidney

tldr: we identify a new organizer activity in vivo in human developing kidney, noticed the lack of said organizing activity in kidney organoids and reconstituted the organizer action in vitro via synthetic organizers - longer thread on bluesky!

Genes aren’t the sole driver instructing cells to build multicellular structures. In a paper in @NatureComms, @USCStemCell scientist @LeonardoMorsut and @Caltech computational biologist Matt Thomson characterize the influence of cell density. stemcell.keck.usc.edu/exerti…

I am excited to share our work discovering neuro-endothelial cells (NECs) - a subtype of #endothelial cells that regulate #brain and #kidney blood flow and #immune balance - now available online! Movie: NECs (green) in the mouse motor cortex #vasculature. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

How similar is kidney development in humans and in lab mice that form the foundation of basic medical research? In a new study published in @Dev_Cell, @USCStemCell scientists probe this question. @AndyMcMahonLab @LindstromLab @KeckSchool_USC stemcell.keck.usc.edu/study-…

Celebrating #WorldKidneyDay with @ukrocharity and Zhongwei Li’s lab @USCStemCell and @KeckSchool_USC. @LiLab_Kidney and colleagues @AndyMcMahonLab, @LindstromLab and @JPetiPeterdi are progressing on generating a transplantable kidney from human stem cells to replace dialysis.
