[Yangfei Xiang @Yangfei_Lab]

Glad to present our website! Please check https://t.co/rXGSZmtJfc. Thanks to all🤝🌹

[Yangfei Xiang @Yangfei_Lab]

Glad to share our latest preprint study: Human hindbrain organoids with segment-specific 5-HT neurons for motor modulation https://t.co/fRUZKYuLqa

[Organoid News @organoidscience]

🚨 New method alert!

@ShanghaiTechUni researchers report a method to differentiate #hPSCs into 3D #NeuralOrganoids that resemble peripheral sympathetic ganglia, producing both neurons and glial cells of the ganglia in a self-organized manner: https://t.co/WsMWKN2v47

Online Now! Human PSC-derived organoids model sympathetic ganglion development and its functional crosstalk with the heart https://t.co/kj8tcCM5FL #stemcells

[Yangfei Xiang @Yangfei_Lab]

3/4 These models can facilitate future research into human sympathetic ganglia and cardiac innervation, encompassing studies on regulatory factors, risk factors, and potential interventions.

[Yangfei Xiang @Yangfei_Lab]

We are pleased to share our latest progress in human neural organoids, recently published in Cell Stem Cell @CellStemCell. https://t.co/xwYyJDskwm

[Yangfei Xiang @Yangfei_Lab]

2/4 We also developed a system to reconstruct functional connections between the human sympathetic ganglion and the heart, and found that inter-tissue crosstalk promote the development of both human sympathetic and cardiac tissues.

[Yangfei Xiang @Yangfei_Lab]

1/4 In this study, we achieved self-organized and enriched production of human sympathetic lineages in 3D culture. Sympathetic neurons and satellite glial cells were generated robustly and exhibited long-term structural and functional development.

[Yangfei Xiang @Yangfei_Lab]

Looking forward to sharing our latest research progress at the conference.

[Yangfei Xiang @Yangfei_Lab]

Congratulations to my three PhD students (Yin Yao, Zhou Wei, and Zhu Jinkui). Thanks to all who have helped us in this process.

[Yangfei Xiang @Yangfei_Lab]

Excited to share that our recent research has been published in ⁦⁦⁦@CellStemCell⁩. This study has achieved simultaneous production and self-organized development of human neural, muscular and skeletal tissues within individual organoids. https://t.co/fbTLQJlU3h

[Yangfei Xiang @Yangfei_Lab]

There is no need to separately differentiate and co-culture different lineages, which will facilitate future applications.

[Yangfei Xiang @Yangfei_Lab]

I’m glad to share that our recent study on human SpV organoids has been featured on the cover of the October issue of @CellStemCell！

[Cell Stem Cell @CellStemCell]

Our October issue is live! The cover features a story from @Yangfei_Lab making human medullary spinal trigeminal nucleus organoids, the information hub of the brain. Other highlights include a Review from @Marta_Shahbazi @vincentpasque on human development and embryo models, @leo_jwu on barriers to interspecies chimerism, @boroviak_lab comparing trophoblast stem cells across species, and more! https://t.co/YJGKEEZhUI

[Stem Cell Podcast @stemcellpodcast]

Wei Pang, Jinkui Zhu, and a team in the @Yangfei_Lab developed region-specific brain #organoids that recapitulate the development of the spinal trigeminal nucleus!

@Janghoolim @CellStemCell Thanks!😊

[Yangfei Xiang @Yangfei_Lab]

Excited to share our latest research published in ⁦⁦⁦⁦@CellStemCell⁩ . In this study, we generated human brain organoids resembling the medullary spinal trigeminal nucleus and developed a model to study the trigeminothalamic connections. https://t.co/jiv8GM6Imm

Great to attend #CSOrganoids2024 in person to talk about our most recent research progress. Thanks @CellSymposia @CellStemCell @Dev_Cell for organizing this fantastic event. It’s always a honor to meet and chat with great scientists in the field.

[Cell Press @CellPressNews]

Still time to register and discuss “building human neural #organoids to model the brain and beyond” w/ speaker Yangfei Xiang, ShanghaiTech University, China @CellSymposia #CSOrganoids2024 https://t.co/6hY84L2FOf
