Biomaterials for intestinal organoid technology and personalized disease modelling (2021)
Journal Article
Hirota, A., AlMusawi, S., Nateri, A. S., Ordóñez-Moran, P., & Imajo, M. (2021). Biomaterials for intestinal organoid technology and personalized disease modelling. Acta Biomaterialia, 132, 272-287. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actbio.2021.05.010

Recent advances in intestinal organoid technologies have paved the way for in vitro recapitulation of the homeostatic renewal of adult tissues, tissue or organ morphogenesis during development, and pathogenesis of many disorders. In vitro modelling o... Read More about Biomaterials for intestinal organoid technology and personalized disease modelling.

Genomic instability profiles at the single cell level in mouse colorectal cancers of defined genotypes (2021)
Journal Article
Dionellis, V. S., Norkin, M., Karamichali, A., Rossetti, G. G., Huelsken, J., Ordonez-Moran, P., & Halazonetis, T. D. (2021). Genomic instability profiles at the single cell level in mouse colorectal cancers of defined genotypes. Cancers, 13(6), Article 1267. https://doi.org/10.3390/cancers13061267

The genomes of many human CRCs have been sequenced, revealing a large number of genetic alterations. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the accumulation of these alterations are still being debated. In this study, we examined colorectal tum...

Designer matrices for intestinal stem cell and organoid culture (2016)
Journal Article
Gjorevski, N., Sachs, N., Manfrin, A., Giger, S., Bragina, M. E., Ordóñez-Morán, P., …Lutolf, M. P. (2016). Designer matrices for intestinal stem cell and organoid culture. Nature, 539(7630), 560-564. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature20168

Epithelial organoids recapitulate multiple aspects of real organs, making them promising models of organ development, function and disease. However, the full potential of organoids in research and therapy has remained unrealized, owing to the poorly... Read More about Designer matrices for intestinal stem cell and organoid culture.

HOXA5 Counteracts Stem Cell Traits by Inhibiting Wnt Signaling in Colorectal Cancer (2015)
Journal Article
Ordóñez-Morán, P., Dafflon, C., Imajo, M., Nishida, E., & Huelsken, J. (2015). HOXA5 Counteracts Stem Cell Traits by Inhibiting Wnt Signaling in Colorectal Cancer. Cancer Cell, 28(6), 815-829. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccell.2015.11.001

Hierarchical organization of tissues relies on stem cells, which either self-renew or produce committed progenitors predestined for lineage differentiation. Here we identify HOXA5 as an important repressor of intestinal stem cell fate in vivo and ide... Read More about HOXA5 Counteracts Stem Cell Traits by Inhibiting Wnt Signaling in Colorectal Cancer.
