Engineering organoids as cerebral disease models.
Abstract:
Cerebral organoids pioneered in replicating complex brain tissue architectures in vitro, offering a vast potential for human disease modeling. They enable the in vitro study of human physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms of various neurological diseases and disorders. The trajectory of technological advancements in brain organoid generation and engineering over the past decade indicates that the technology might, in the future, mature into indispensable solutions at the horizon of personalized and regenerative medicine. In this review, we highlight recent advances in the engineering of brain organoids as disease models and discuss some of the challenges and opportunities for future research in this rapidly evolving field.
