Modelling human hepato-biliary-pancreatic organogenesis from the foregut–midgut boundary

H Koike, K Iwasawa, R Ouchi, M Maezawa… - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
Organogenesis is a complex and interconnected process that is orchestrated by multiple
boundary tissue interactions 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 – 7 . However, it remains unclear how individual, …

[HTML][HTML] Single cell transcriptomics identifies a signaling network coordinating endoderm and mesoderm diversification during foregut organogenesis

…, K Kishimoto, H Koike, T Nasr, K Iwasawa… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Visceral organs, such as the lungs, stomach and liver, are derived from the fetal foregut
through a series of inductive interactions between the definitive endoderm (DE) and the …

[PDF][PDF] En masse organoid phenotyping informs metabolic-associated genetic susceptibility to NASH

M Kimura, T Iguchi, K Iwasawa, A Dunn, WL Thompson… - Cell, 2022 - cell.com
Genotype-phenotype associations for common diseases are often compounded by pleiotropy
and metabolic state. Here, we devised a pooled human organoid-panel of steatohepatitis …
