Human sensorimotor organoids derived from healthy and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis stem cells form neuromuscular junctions
Abstract
Organoids have improved disease modeling. Here, the authors generate human sensorimotor organoids derived from hiPSCs of individuals with ALS. These organoids contain skeletal muscle, sensory and motor neurons as well as astrocytes, microglia, and vasculature and form neuromuscular junctions.
