Abstract
Neurally differentiating human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) possess the ability to self-organize into structures reminiscent of the developing fetal brain. In 2- and 3D cultures, this phenomenon initiates with formation of polarized areas of neural stem cells (NSCs), known as rosettes that resemble cross-sectional slices of the embryonic neural tube, i.e., the central nervous system (CNS) anlage. Thus, neural rosettes serve as an excellent starting point for bioengineering tissue models of all CNS tissues. Here, we provide detailed methods for bioengineering controlled induction of hPSC-derived neural assemblies with a biomimetic, singular neural rosette cytoarchitecture.
