    Characterization of an Eye Field-Like State during Optic Vesicle Organoid Development

    Using optic vesicle organoids to model the onset of the eye field, scientists generated timecourse transcriptomic data allowing them to identify dynamic gene expression programs that characterized this cellular-state transition.
    [Development]

    Abstract

    MeCP2 Dysfunction Prevents Proper BMP Signaling and Neural Progenitor Expansion in Brain Organoid

    Investigators newly established the Rett syndrome brain organoid model derived from methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2)-truncated iPSCs which were genetically engineered by CRISPR/Cas9 technology.
