“…Hence, PSC-derived cerebral organoids have recently become a focus in the complex disorders quest. Upon minimal instructions in vitro , cells can self-organize into 3D structures where intrinsic molecular programs are activated to generate diverse neuronal and non-neuronal cell types from CNS specific regions, recapitulating some of the early features of the human brain development (Lancaster et al, 2013; Sasai, 2013; Lancaster and Knoblich, 2014; Quadrato et al, 2017; Sartore et al, 2017). Some recent studies have shown potential for modeling several human disorders using cerebral organoids, such as microcephaly (Lancaster et al, 2013), lissencephaly (Bershteyn et al, 2017), Zika virus infection microcephaly (Cugola et al, 2016; Garcez et al, 2016; Qian et al, 2016), Alzheimer’s disease (Raja et al, 2016), and autism spectrum disorders (Mariani et al, 2015).…”
