Check out this report about researchers at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center who successfully created stomach fundus tissue in the lab using human pluripotent stem cells. Their research, published in Nature, demonstrated that the tissue was able to produce stomach acid and digestive enzymes, indicating high potential for use as a model system. Imaging was performed using a Nikon A1Rsi resonant-scanning confocal microscope with spectral detector.
