Our countdown is never complete without a @TheCleversLab story! 😎 Their study of an in vitro model of mouse dorsal tongue epithelium holds 4th place in our countdown. 👏 If you missed the article in September, read it now. 👇
Dr. @HansClevers's team at @prinsesmaximac developed a protocol to generate a long-term expanding organoid model from the adult mouse dorsal anterior tongue. 👅 🧪 bit.ly/4nsXuRi

Using fluorescence real-time imaging and an in vitro implantation model, we show that human embryo attachment begins with direct cell fusion via syncytin-2–MFSD2A interaction. With @TheCleversLab. Great work by @NoordzijTomas & @CelottiMartina! @_Hubrecht biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

Daisong Wang and Sangho Lim describe human gut organoids with Peyer's patch M cells. M cells not only transport antigens: like professional antigen-presenting cells, they process and present gluten (the celiac disease antigen) directly to T cells rdcu.be/eT5s7

1/4 Gut renewal is not passive “crowd control.” Instead of being pushed out by crowding or dying from apoptosis, cells compete in a mechanical tug-of-war. Weaker cells are eliminated—reframing intestinal homeostasis as a force-regulated process. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

3/4 This reveals a safeguard mechanism: epithelial cells constantly test each other’s mechanical strength. Too little (or too much) force destabilizes the barrier, linking extrusion to diseases like tufting enteropathy. Gut renewal is an active, force-regulated process.

4/4 This work was a true team effort between @_amolf, @ihb_research, and the @_Hubrecht — led by @DanielKruegerDK and Kasper Spoelstra. Huge thanks to all collaborators for making it possible.

Recent work from our lab explored the role of multiple nuclear receptors in the human small #intestine. Using #organoids and small molecules, we activated and then studied one nuclear receptor at the time through transcriptome characterization. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2411189…
