Workflow
-
Required Starting Materials:
- Human iPSC Lines: Client-provided iPSCs (healthy or patient-derived, e.g., PD patient iPSCs) or our well-characterized iPSC lines.
- Project Objectives & Specificity: Detailed project goals, desired disease models, cellular phenotypes, and genetic backgrounds.
- Control Parameters/Reference Data: Existing control data, reference compounds, or assay requirements.
- Key Steps Involved:
iPSC Expansion
We expand client iPSCs under optimal conditions, ensuring sufficient cell numbers and pluripotency.
Midbrain Floor Plate Induction
Precise WNT and SHH signaling in embryoid bodies induces midbrain floor plate identity, ensuring correct developmental trajectory.
Organoid Development and Maturation
Induced floor plate tissue is treated with growth factors to promote self-organization into 3D midbrain organoids, fostering complex structures and cell types.
Long-Term Culture and Characterization
Organoids are maintained long-term for neuronal maturation and appearance of key midbrain features (dopaminergic neurons, neuromelanin). Extensive characterization confirms mature regiospecific biomarkers.
Disease Modeling and Assay Implementation
For disease projects, organoids are induced with genetic mutations or neurotoxins to establish PD models. Assays on our NeuroST™ platform then evaluate drug candidates or disease mechanisms.

Introduction of Midbrain Organoid Ex Vivo Modeling Service
Midbrain organoids represent a paradigm shift in neuroscience research, offering unparalleled capabilities for studying human brain development and disease ex vivo. These three-dimensional cellular clusters, derived from human iPSCs, possess the remarkable capacity for self-organization, mimicking the complex architecture, cellular composition, and functional properties of the human midbrain. Unlike traditional two-dimensional cell cultures, midbrain organoids provide a more physiologically relevant environment that includes various neural cell types, such as dopaminergic, GABAergic, and glutaminergic neurons, and distinct structures like the tectum, cerebral aqueduct, tegmentum, and cerebral peduncles. Research leveraging midbrain organoids has significantly advanced the understanding of neurodegenerative disorders, particularly Parkinson's Disease (PD). They enable the recapitulation of PD hallmarks, including the loss of dopaminergic neurons and α-synuclein aggregation, making them powerful tools for disease modeling, drug discovery, and toxicity testing.
