Functional characterization of 3D neurospheres

Neural organoids and 3D spheroids are a fast-evolving technology with enormous potential for studying brain development and neuronal disorders.

They offer a more sophisticated and physiologically relevant system for fundamental research and high-throughput drug discovery, including chemical profiling and toxicity assessment.

This app note demonstrates how to assemble normal human iPSC-derived cell types such as glutamatergic neurons, GABAergic neurons, and astrocytes into 3D neurospheres for chemical profiling.
