Time lapse video of organoid growth (VIDEO)
Caption
Through time-resolved observation of the cells, a research team at the Technical University of Munich was able to investigate the complex interactions between the organoid cells and the surrounding collagen matrix in detail. By expanding in the direction of movement and then contracting again, the cells generate forces that deform the surrounding collagen matrix, making it possible for the organoid to organize the direction of its own further growth.
