    Studying Brain Development:

    The development of neural organoids has allowed researchers to gain a deeper understanding of the functioning of the human brain during development (1). Since neural organoids are similar to the human brain at a molecular and cellular level, researchers can study the mechanisms underlying brain development which will then allow them to understand how certain neurological disorders arise (1).

  • Fused in sarcoma (FUS) is a protein that is involved in regulating transcription and processing RNA. 
  • ALS patients usually have mutated FUS in the cytoplasm of affected neurons.  
  • Reducing levels of FUS in a spinal cord organoid decreased neural proliferation and differentiation, suggesting that FUS is important for those roles. [9]

    Neural organoids or organoids have been used and tested in mice against cancer with personalised drug treatment as the organoid will closely mimic the genetics of the mouse and can be used to see what drug or treatment would be best to cure or cope with different condition whilst mitigating as many side effects as possible to make the treatment ‘safe’ and through recent development it will be used to curate medicine in humans against disease.(1) (Updated as of 06/03/23)Applications of Organoids (news-medical.net)

    Neural organoids could be developed further in the future by incorporating vascularization as this would mimic the in vivo environment of a real life brain.Recently, researchers have developed microglia- containing human brain organoids (MC-HBOs) as microglia play a key role as the immune defence in the central nervous system.This allows researchers to study diseases using a more reproducible,accurate  model which encapsulates the main features of the human brain.

  • Spinal cord organoids can be used for toxicology screening.
    • The effects of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) were trialled on spinal cord organoid models. The models were treated with 3 concentrations of 6 selected AEDs. Results showed that two types of AEDs resulted in neural tube closure failure after 8 days of treatment. These results were consistent with clinical risks of AEDs. [7]

  • Usually, neurotoxicity is dependent on animal models, which has several disadvantages. This includes differences in anatomy, ethical concerns and costs.

In normal embryonic development, the nervous system develops from ectoderm.

    Hence, the stem cells are placed in neuroectoderm encouraging broth, grown in a gel scaffold, spun in a bioreactor to distribute O2 and nutrients to maintain viability.
    Rich populations of radial glial cells are present during growth, helping increase the number of developing neurons [2].

    These regions include the choroid plexus, hippocampus and frontal brain. Photosensitive cells can be developed, mimicking a structure similar to the retina.

    Genetic markers can be added to outline certain regions [6] to see how the organoid develops.

    FIRST IDEAS: ideal anatomy/physiology for living in space, ideal anatomy/physiology for a predator, organoids 

    NARROWING IT DOWN: organoids were our main interest since they combined most of the concepts we wanted to investigate.

    OUR TEAMWORK: 

    - prioritizing other coursework, but consistently met to discuss new ideas and offer suggestions
