Background:

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators of organogenesis.
Efficient methods are needed to study miRNA function during organ development.
Embryonic organ explants offer a model for early morphogenetic processes.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and present a novel method for assessing microRNA function in embryonic organ explants.
To enable efficient targeting and functional analysis of miRNAs during organ morphogenesis.

Main Methods:

Utilizing peptide-based nanoparticles for transfecting miRNA inhibitors or activators into embryonic organ explants.
Employing a microRNA pulldown assay for direct identification of miRNA targets.
Applying the method to explanted mouse embryonic organs.

Main Results:

The presented method effectively assesses microRNA function during organ morphogenesis.
It allows for parallel prioritization of multiple miRNAs for further genetic studies.
The technique is applicable to various embryonic organs.

Conclusions:

This method provides a robust system for studying miRNA roles in organ development.
It facilitates the investigation of miRNA-mediated regulation of morphogenesis.
The approach is versatile and can be adapted for different embryonic organ systems.
