Abstract

Hepatic, pancreatic, and biliary (HPB) organoids are powerful tools for studying development, disease, and regeneration. As organoid research expands, the need for clear definitions and nomenclature describing these systems also grows. To facilitate scientific communication and consistent interpretation, we revisit the concept of an organoid and introduce an intuitive classification system and nomenclature for describing these 3D structures through the consensus of experts in the field. To promote the standardization and validation of HPB organoids, we propose guidelines for establishing, characterizing, and benchmarking future systems. Finally, we address some of the major challenges to the clinical application of organoids.

  • Organoid technology shows great promise for regenerative medicine due to its ability to differentiate, self-organize, and proliferate in high and stable capacity without losing the desirable cholangiocyte phenotype.

    “Recently, organoid technology has shown great promise for regenerative medicine due to its ability to differentiate, self-organize, and proliferate in high and stable capacity without losing the desirable cholangiocyte phenotype [248,249].”

    From Liver tissue engineering using decellularized scaffolds: Current progress, challenges, and opportunities (2024) · cites this paper as [248]

    The section on primary-tissue organoids describes self-renewing, genetically stable cultures that can be passaged for months and are attractive for therapeutic applications. The Extrahepatic cholangiocyte organoids section reports retained cholangiocyte features and functions, while the Gallbladder cholangiocyte organoids section reports bile-duct regeneration after transplantation. The paper does not establish that organoids generally retain a cholangiocyte phenotype while differentiating; it also describes differentiation toward hepatocyte functions and culture-dependent changes in cell identity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
