Single-cell guided prenatal derivation of primary fetal epithelial organoids from human amniotic and tracheal fluids

Organoids of multiple different tissue types can be generated from cells collected from amniotic fluid samples, without termination of the pregnancy, according to a study in Nature Medicine.


The generation of primary organoids, from fetal fluid-derived epithelial stem or progenitor cells, offers the possibility of modeling different developing tissues during gestation, even beyond the limits of pregnancy termination.
