Organoids are developed from stem cells and serve as three-dimensional model systems for different organs. They have great potential for research and medicine, but also raise philosophical, ethical and legal questions which have rarely been discussed in Germany so far. This thematic study by the interdisciplinary research group (IAG) Gene Technology Report at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities offers an overview of current scientific developments, their present and potential application, as well as epistemological, ethical and legal reflections. Hereby, the IAG wants to provide impetus for an interdisciplinary and society-wide debate on this general subject. With contributions by Cantas Alev, Aileen-Diane Bamford, Sina Bartfeld, Andreia S.

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) have emerged as the most promising cellular source for cell therapies. To overcome scale up limitations of classical 2D culture systems, suspension cultures have been developed to meet the need of large-scale culture in regenerative medicine. Despite constant improvements, current protocols relying on the generation of micro-carriers or cell aggregates only achieve moderate amplification performance. Here, guided by reports showing that hPSCs can self-organize in vitro into cysts reminiscent of the epiblast stage in embryo development, we developed a physio-mimetic approach for hPSC culture. We engineered stem cell niche microenvironments inside microfluidics-assisted core-shell microcapsules. We demonstrate that lumenized three-dimensional colonies maximize viability and expansion rates while maintaining pluripotency. By optimizing capsule size and culture conditions, we scale-up this method to industrial scale stirred tank bioreactors and achieve an unprecedented hPSC amplification rate of 282-fold in 6.5 days.
