This study shows that extrinsic polarity cues determine whether retinal organoids develop a laminated epithelium or cluster-based organization, revealing plasticity in vertebrate retinal development.

This paper uses deep learning to predict tissue outcomes in retinal organoids before they are visually discernible, improving understanding of developmental trajectories.

This paper introduces DNA microbeads to control morphogen release in organoids, enabling spatio-temporal regulation of development and improving tissue mimicry.

The paper presents a platform for minimal-invasive 3D laser printing of microimplants in vivo using synthetic polymer inks, demonstrating biological responses in teleost fish and fruit fly embryos.
