A Genetically Engineered Human Organoid Model Reveals Distinct Genetic and Epigenetic Barriers of Lineage Plasticity in Early PDAC Transformation

X Zhang, W. Douglas Wong, Hyunwoo Cho, Dapeng Yang, Gary Dixon, Renhe Luo, Dingyu Liu, Denis Torre, Shigeaki Umeda, Federico Gonzãlez, Gökçe Aşkan, Aslihan Yavas, Jeyaram Ravichandran Damodaran, Robert W. Rickert, Rajya L. Kappagantula, , Danwei Huangfu

This paper develops a human organoid model of early PDAC that identifies genetic and epigenetic barriers to lineage plasticity, showing CDKN2A loss is essential with KRAS/TP53 mutations and TET1 suppression links ERK signaling to transcription factor silencing.

A stem cell knockout village reveals lineage rewiring and a non-canonical islet cell fate in monogenic diabetes

Dingyu Liu, Bicna Song, Zhaoheng Li, Stephen Zhang, Tabassum Fabiha, Jiahui Zhao, Ayaka Inoki, Julie Piccand, Chew-Li Soh, Gary Dixon, Aaron Zhong, Nan Hu, Renhe Luo, Batu Ozlusen, Vipin K. Menon, , Danwei Huangfu

This study uses a knockout village framework to analyze how mutations in diabetes genes alter pancreatic beta cell development, revealing non-canonical cell fate shifts and identifying ISL1 as a key regulator.
