Organoids are made to model human organs and are promising for research and therapy, but there are limitations in their growth and function. A recent study found that placenta-derived IL1 under hypoxic conditions, can greatly increase growth of human stem cell-derived liver organoids. By promoting liver progenitor cell expansion through a specific signaling pathway, this method offers a promising route to improve organoid models and regenerative medicine.
