Zusammenfassung

  • Organoids are miniature, organ-like structures derived from stem cells. While techniques for developing organoids for different tissues have advanced in the past decade, it has remained a challenge to simultaneously grow two different tissues into a single functional organoid. We have recently developed a 3D neuromuscular organoid that allows the simultaneous generation of spinal neurons and skeletal muscles. Here we discuss their future applications in modeling neuromuscular disorders.
