Abstract Organoids offer a powerful platform to model human development and disease in vitro, while preserving key features of in vivo tissue architecture and complexity. In this study, we developed a protocol to generate human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived spinal cord organoids patterned to the lumbar region.

Abstract Heterogeneous and predominantly sporadic neurodegenerative diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), remain highly challenging to model. Patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technologies offer great promise for these diseases; however, large-scale studies demonstrating accelerated neurodegeneration in patients with sporadic disease are limited.
