Abstract:Cerebral organoids (COs) are derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cells in vitro and mimic the features of the human fetal brain. The development of COs is largely dependent on “self-organization” mechanisms, in which differentiating cells committed to cortical cells autonomously organize into the cerebral cortex-like tissue. However, extrinsic manipulation of their morphology, including size and thickness, remains challenging. In this study, we discovered that silicate microfiber scaffolds could suppor… Show more
