Using Organoids to study testicular functions

Background

Organoids developed using primary cells and co-cultures are extensively used to study cellular interactions and testicular function as they simulate in vivo structural and functional features of testis. Organoids which are cell-based, or scaffold-based using specific biomaterials are used to study testicular functions. These in vitro models are used to study cell-cell interactions, germ cell-somatic cell microenvironments and testicular niche functions. 

Learning Outcome (LO)

  • LO #1: Organoid development for studying specific testicular function and cellular interaction and use of specific biomaterial for generating organoids is discussed.  
  • LO #2: Application of these organoids for developmental studies and disease modeling.
