Synthetic Extracellular Matrix for Culturing Endometrial Organoids
October 17, 2023 | Terry Sharrer
“[Researchers at Tufts and MIT] and their team designed a synthetic ECM [extracellular matrix] using hydrogel and a minimal set of biological signals. Then they cultured endometrial stromal and epithelial organoids from human donors together in the synthetic matrix, and the co-culture remained intact over the experiment period of at least 15 days. In contrast, Matrigel did not support stromal cultures and had partly disintegrated and shrunken by day 15.” MORE
