SCRIPPS RESEARCH INSTITUTE IMAGE: A TEAM AT SCRIPPS RESEARCH INVENTED A NEW METHOD, CALLED CATCH, THAT SHOWS HOW DRUGS HIT THEIR TARGETS IN THE BODY. CELLS TARGETED BY A DRUG (PARGYLINE SHOWN IN CYAN) CAN BE IDENTIFIED BY MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF IMMUNOLABELING (RED SHOWING NEURONS; YELLOW SHOWING DOPAMINERGIC/NORADRENERGIC NEURONS; BLUE SHOWING CELL NUCLEI).

Summary of the study Ocular surface ectoderm, which is thought to be the common primordium of the lacrimal gland and cornea, is induced in zone-3 of eye-like organoids derived from human iPS cells. After further differentiation culture, we induced and isolated lacrimal gland progenitor cells by cell sorting and successfully generated...
