摘要

Modelling organs in culture has great potential to improve our understanding of development, organogenesis and disease. While some endodermal derived organs have been modelled, the corpus region of the stomach, where acid-producing cells reside, remained an invincible target. A 60-day differentiation protocol now enables the generation of functional acid-producing cells in culture, conquering the challenge.
