Modeling cell-cell interactions in the brain using cerebral organoids

Until recently, a great amount of brain studies have been conducted in human post mortem tissues, cell lines and model organisms. These researches provided useful insights regarding cell-cell interactions occurring in the brain. However, such approaches suffer from technical limitations and inaccurate modeling of the tissue 3D cytoarchitecture. Importantly, they might lack a human genetic background essential for disease modeling. With the...
