Additionally, organoids can be grown from various cancer cell types, such as pluripotent stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells, progenitor cells, and adult stem cells. Although patient-derived xenografts and genetically engineered mouse models replicate human disease in vivo, organoids are less expensive, less labor intensive, and less time-consuming, all-important aspects in high-throughput settings. Like in vivo models, organoids mimic the three-dimensional structure, cellular heterogeneity, and functions of primary tissues, with the advantage of representing the normal oxygen conditions of patient organs.

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a tiny group of cancer cells that possess a significant ability to regenerate themselves, form tumors, and undergo differentiation. CSCs have a pivotal role in the initiation, spread, recurrence, and resistance to treatment of cancer. As a result, they are very susceptible to being targeted for therapeutic intervention. The potential to cure HCC may be achieved by efficiently targeting drugs that eradicate cancer stem cells. Mitochondria have a crucial function in granting drug resistance to cancer stem cells by means of mitochondrial metabolism, biogenesis, and dynamics. Dysfunction in mitochondrial metabolic processes, such as mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), calcium signaling, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, contributes to the initiation and progression of human malignancies, including HCC. ROS have both beneficial and detrimental effects depending on their concentration. Consequently, ROS have become a prominent subject in the study of the fundamental mechanisms of HCC. Furthermore, an imbalance in the process of creating new mitochondria is a characteristic feature of CSCs, and an increase in mitochondrial biogenesis is associated with the heightened resistance observed in CSCs. This article provides a detailed examination of the involvement of mitochondria in the preservation of CSCs, as well as the spread of HCC. A deeper understanding of how mitochondria participate in tumorigenesis and drug resistance could result in the discovery of novel cancer treatments.</p>","PeriodicalId":21955,"journal":{"name":"Stem Cell Reviews and Reports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142475180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The lung is a multicellular complex organ that develops under the symphonic influence of the microenvironment. Here, we hypothesize that the generation of lung organoids in a controlled microenvironment (cmO) (oxygen and pressure) yields multicellular organoids with architectural complexity resembling the lung alveoli. iPSCs were differentiated into mature lung organoids following a stepwise protocol in an oxygen and pressure-controlled microenvironment. The organoids developed in the controlled microenvironment displayed complex alveolar architecture and stained for SFTPC, PDPN, and KRT5, indicating the presence of alveolar epithelial type II and type I cells, as well as basal cells. Moreover, gene and protein expression levels were also increased in the cmO. Furthermore, pathway analysis of proteomics revealed upregulation of lung development-specific pathways in the cmO compared to those growing in normal culture conditions. In summary, by using a controlled microenvironment, we established a complex multicellular lung organoid derived from iPSCs as a novel cellular model to study lung alveolar biology in both lung health and disease.</p>","PeriodicalId":21955,"journal":{"name":"Stem Cell Reviews and Reports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142475179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, this study endeavors to categorize and synthesize the publications in this field over the past decade through bibliometric methods and visual knowledge mapping, aiming to visually analyze their research focus and clinical trends. The English language literature on iPSCs and hereditary diseases, published from 2014 to 2023 in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC), was examined. The CiteSpace (version 6.3.R1) software was utilized to visualize and analyze country/region, institution, scholar, co-cited authors, and co-cited journals. Additionally, the co-occurrence, clustering, and bursting of co-cited references were displayed. Analysis of 347 articles that met the inclusion criteria revealed a steady increase in the number of published articles and citation frequency in the field over the past decade. With regard to the countries/regions, institutions, scholars, and journals where the articles were published, the highest numbers were found in the USA, the University of California System, Suren M. Zakian, and Stem Cell Research, respectively.
