Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022098895A1] The present disclosure provides devices and in vitro methods of developing three-dimensional neural tube-like tissues. In some aspects, the disclosure provides devices and methods of developing three-dimensional neural tube-like tissues comprising forebrain-like, midbrain-like, hindbrain-like, and spinal cord-like tissues. In particular, provided herein microfluidic devices and methods of using the same for generating neural tube-like tissues, such as neural-tube like tissues comprising forebrain-like, midbrain-like, hindbrain-like, and spinal cord-like tissues. In some embodiments, uses of such neural tube-like tissues for research, compound screening and analysis, disease modeling, and therapeutics are provided.
