Human heart cells grown from stem cells show less robust muscle fibers (green) in high glucose conditions (left) compared to reduced glucose conditions (right).
Microscopic image of a mini brain organoid, showing layered neural tissue and different groups of neural stem cells (in blue, red and magenta) giving rise to neurons (green).
Increasing the concentration of a certain type of BMP increases the production of the same categories of sensory interneurons (red and green). Left: no BMP added; center: 1x BMP added; right: 10x BMP added.
Untreated mouse skin showing no hair growth (left) compared to mouse skin treated with the drug UK5099 (right) showing hair growth.

Left: axons (green, pink, blue) form organized patterns in the normal developing mouse spinal cord. Right: removing netrin1 results in highly disorganized axon growth.
T cells (red) produced using artificial thymic organoids developed at UCLA.
Left to right: Zika virus (green) infects and destroys the formation of neurons (pink) in human stem cell-derived brain organoids. Administration of 25HC blocks Zika infection and preserves neuron formation in the organoids. Reduced brain size and structure in a Zika-infected mouse brain. Administration of 25HC preserves mouse brain size and structure.
