Abstract Human lung organoids (HLOs) are increasingly used to model development and infectious diseases, however their ability recapitulate functional pulmonary tissue response nanomaterial (NM) exposures has yet be demonstrated. Here, we established a organoid exposure that utilises microinjection present NMs into the lumen of organoids. Our assures efficient, reproducible controllable apical epithelium, emulating real-life human scenario. By comparing impact two well studied carbon-based NMs, graphene oxide sheets (GO) multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), validated as tools for predicting NM-driven responses. In agreement with in vivo data, demonstrate MWCNT, but not GO, elicit adverse effects on organoids, leading pro-fibrotic phenotype. findings reveal capacity suitability HLOs hazard assessment aligned much sought-out 3Rs (animal research replacement, reduction, refinement) framework.

Human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived lung types such as alveolar epithelial cells are promising for toxicological and pharmaceutical in vitro screenings. Reproducible differentiation processes highly demanded, but protocols which suitable the high-throughput generation of from hiPSCs lacking. In this study, a new approach hiPSC-differentiation epithelial-like type 2 under dynamic 3D-conditions suspension bioreactor is presented. Gene protein expression analyses key markers during embryonal development have been performed comparison to differentiated static 2D-conditions evaluate efficacy bioreactor-based approach. Finally, resulting were infected by SARS-CoV-2 pseudotypes demonstrate their functionality suitability e.g. COVID-19 drug development. The differentiate spheroids, express relevant each developmental stage on gene level. 3D method able significantly increase some conventional 2D differentiation. 3D-differentiated functional receptors can display viral infection. presented 3D-differentiation promising, generate source models. online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s44164-023-00052-1.

The progress of medical technology and scientific advances in the field anticancer treatment have increased survival probabilities duration life patients. However, cancer-therapy-induced cardiac dysfunction remains a clinically salient problem. Effective therapies may eventually induce cardiomyopathy. To date, several studies focused on mechanisms underlying cancer-treatment-related cardiotoxicity. Cardiomyocyte cell lines with no contractile physiological characteristics cannot adequately model "true" human cardiomyocytes. applying cardiomyocytes for research is fraught many obstacles (e.g., invasiveness procedure), there proliferative limitation rodent primary cultures. Human-induced pluripotent stem-cell-differentiated (hiPSC-CMs), which can be produced efficiently, are viable candidates mimicking vitro. We successfully performed differentiation iPSCs to obtain hiPSC-CMs. These hiPSC-CMs used investigate pathophysiological basis molecular mechanism cardiotoxicity develop novel strategies prevent rescue such propose that as an vitro drug screening platform study targeted cancer-therapy-related
