Despite a comprehensive understanding of many of its functions, several aspects of the complex processes within the epididymis remain obscure. Dysfunction in this organ is intricately connected to the formation of the microenvironment, disruptions in sperm maturation, and the progression of male infertility. Thus, elucidating the functional mechanisms of the epididymal epithelium is imperative. Given the variety of cell types present within the epididymal epithelium, utilizing a three-dimensional (3D) in vitro model provides a holistic and practical framework for exploring the multifaceted roles of the epididymis. Organoid cell culture, involving the co-cultivation of pluripotent or adult stem cells with growth factors on artificial matrix scaffolds, effectively recreates the in vivo cell growth microenvironment, thereby offering a promising avenue for studying the epididymis. The field of epididymal organoids is relatively new, with few studies focusing on their formation and even fewer detailing the generation of organoids that exhibit epididymis-specific structures and functions. Ongoing challenges in both clinical applications and mechanistic studies underscore the importance of this research. This review summarizes the established methodologies for inducing the in vitro cultivation of epididymal cells, outlines the various approaches for the development of epididymal organoids, and explores their potential applications in the field of male reproductive biology.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/biom14081026","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,19]],"date-time":"2024-08-19T03:43:28Z","timestamp":1724039008000},"page":"1026","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Advancement and Potential Applications of Epididymal Organoids"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7643-6439","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Junyu","family":"Nie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Reproductive Medicine, Medical School, Nantong University, Nantong 226019, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8319-8101","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hao","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Reproductive Medicine, Medical School, Nantong University, Nantong 226019, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1483-3981","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiuling","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Reproductive Medicine, Medical School, Nantong University, Nantong 226019, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"561","DOI":"10.1095\/biolreprod.106.057323","article-title":"The rat epididymal transcriptome: Comparison of segmental gene expression in the rat and mouse epididymides","volume":"76","author":"Jelinsky","year":"2007","journal-title":"Biol.
