I think there is a need for a complete re-think for organoid modeling.
As long as the architecture of organoids that you produce is not directly compared to a 3D map of the organ (say, a fallopian tube) or disease to be modeled, it will be approximate.

Multiwavelength Whirlpool Galaxy: Each image shows a narrow band of wavelengths of light and invisible radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum. The wavelength and energy of a photon relates to how fast electrons are accelerated. Low energy radiation comes from cool regions of molecular gas, and high energy radiation comes from hot spots where atoms are fully ionized. The combined images provide insight into the structure, temperature, and chemical composition of the Whirlpool Galaxy. The stars in the infrared image represent most of the mass of the galaxy, excluding dark matter, which can't be seen. The optical image represents a slightly smaller amount of mass and the other three images represent only traces of mass in molecules (radio image) massive hot stars, (ultraviolet image) and hot plasma (x-ray image).
Radio is beyond red
Gamma rays, beyond blue
There are 80 octaves of the electromagnetic spectrum
But only one we can view ๐งช

Ep 24 - Understanding your thresholding options is the diff between a win and a loss in SO MANY workflows - gain that intuition, and SO MUCH is easier. The 1st of 3 episodes discussing why - inspired by OUR FIRST REAL READER QUESTION. @erinweisbart.bsky.social and I are actual advice columnists now!

How do migrating cell groups balance force and flexibility?
Our new preprint shows that RhoGAP15B downregulates RhoAโMyosin activity to stabilise protrusions and enable efficient collective migration in vivo.
