Cerebral organoids represent an optimal experimental system for studying human cortical development, evolution, physiology, function, and disease mechanisms. Here, we describe a simple protocol for the differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) into cerebral organoids. We describe steps for hPSC maintenance, neural induction of embryoid bodies, and patterning of cerebral organoids. We also detail a process for the phenotypic assay of each neural-tube-like area in hPSC-derived cerebral organoids. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Tang et al. (2021)..
大脑类器官是研究人类皮质发育、进化、生理学、功能和疾病机制的理想实验系统。在此,我们描述了一种将人类多能干细胞(hPSC)分化为大脑类器官的简单方案。我们阐述了hPSC维持、胚状体的神经诱导以及大脑类器官模式形成的步骤。我们还详细介绍了hPSC来源的大脑类器官中每个神经管样区域的表型分析过程。有关该方案使用和执行的完整详细信息,请参考Tang等人(2021年)的研究。
