Abstract
Stem cell-derived organoids which are miniature self-organized three-dimensional tissue cultures could be a limitless source of functional tissue for transplantations in many organs and also have the potential to significantly improve the drug discovery process. One common feature to all organoids is that they are generated from either pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) or adult stem cells through replicating human development or organ regeneration in vitro. A key challenge with developing any organoid model is monitoring the maturation process or the response of organoids to changes in environment. Here, we will show that a combination of chromatin-sensitive coherent confocal light absorption and scattering spectroscopic (C-CLASS) microscopy and Raman microspectroscopy, which is sensitive to the vibrational modes of molecules and enables direct classification of a broad range of biomolecules with spectral unmixing, provides an efficient way of functional analysis of organoids and 3D cell cultures without the need to sacrifice a sample.
