Respiratory diseases are one of the leading causes of mortality. Despite the efforts to understand lung development, physiology, and pathology, this field remains in its early stages. In vitro models can replicate lung physiology to comprehend development, function, and pathology. Lung organoids

We used a 7-stage protocol to generate beta cells from human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSC) and evaluated whether these cells are responsive to the pro-inflammatory cytokines (IFNγ, IL-1β, or IFNα) that play a role in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Our data show that human iPSC-derived beta cells
