Abstract:
Organoid systems are commonly used for disease modeling because of their faithful recapitulation of tissue homeostasis, tissue regeneration, and disease processes. However, there is not an optimal approach for the culture of primary mouse esophageal organoids (EOs). Herein, we provide the detailed steps for an efficient and cost-effective protocol for generating and culturing murine EOs. We also describe how to establish transgenic EOs using viral transduction. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Zheng et al. (2021).
