In glioma modeling, existing organoid protocols lack the ability to replicate glioma cell invasion and interaction with normal brain tissue. Here, we present a protocol for generating in vitro brain disease models using human-induced pluripotent- or embryonic-stem-cell-derived cerebral organoids (COs). We

Although recent reports have revealed the importance of the inactivation of both RB1 and TP53 in the transformation from lung adenocarcinoma into neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC), the requirements for complete transformation into NEC have not been elucidated. To investigate alterations in

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) causes a high rate of mortality and disability, and its treatment is still limited. Loss of neurons in damaged area is hardly rescued by relative molecular therapies. Based on its disease characteristics, we transplanted human embryonic
There are currently no preventive or disease-modifying therapies for Parkinson's Disease (PD). Failures in clinical trials necessitate a re-evaluation of existing pre-clinical models in order to adopt systems that better recapitulate underlying disease mechanisms and better predict clinical outcomes. In
Human stem-cell-derived models provide the promise of accelerating our understanding of brain disorders, but not knowing whether they possess the ability to mature beyond mid- to late-fetal stages potentially limits their utility. We leveraged a directed differentiation protocol to comprehensively
