Description

Caroline Hookway and a large team present a stem cell system, writing in 2026, for watching how epithelial cells change into a more mobile mesenchymal state. Human induced pluripotent stem cells were grown as flat two-dimensional colonies and as hollow three-dimensional forms called lumenoids, giving two views inside one setup.

Fixed and live imaging tracked cell movement, marker proteins, cell junctions, and contact with the basement membrane after the change was triggered. Movement began later in the three-dimensional cultures, and that delay was tied in a measurable way to how intact the membrane stayed. Shared data and tools are offered so other groups can compare results on the same basis.
