简介:AbstractAs an innovative in vitro culture model, organoids have been established by cell sorting and subsequent culture in three-dimensional culture systems. Organoids can be derived from induced pluripotent stem cells or organ-restricted adult stem cells. Compared with traditional two-dimensional cell culture models and patient-derived xenograft models, organoids possess long-term genetic stability and can better retain the characteristics of source tissues or organs. These advantages have led to the increased use of ovarian and fallopian tube organoids in various fields of research, including cell differentiation and development, establishment of disease occurrence and progression models, tissue regeneration and reconstruction, individual drug screening, immune cell co-culture, and maternal-fetal medicine. This review briefly summarizes the recent progress in the application of ovarian and fallopian tube organoids in the field of obstetrics and gynecology.
简介:AbstractCilia are microtubule-based filamentous organelles that play a vital role in embryogenesis. Multiple signal transduction pathways are orchestrated by cilia, such as Hedgehog and planar cell polarity signals. Various studies, spanning over last 2 decades, have emphasized the role of cilia-mediated signaling cascades in regulating neural tube patterning and development. Moreover, the deficiency of certain ciliary genes have been reported to cause neural tube defects (NTDs), which are a set of disorders that occur due to perturbation of normal neural tube closure. However, the mechanisms underlying cilia dysfunction resulting NTDs remain unclear. Recent studies have highlighted the association of phosphoinositide signaling with cilia, thereby conferring novel insights into the function of cilia during neural tube development. Here, we have reviewed recent studies on cilia, focusing on the molecular mechanism underlying the involvement of cilia in neural tube development and the role of ciliary disruption in the development of NTDs.
