Product Overview

Description

The NeuroDiff™ Cerebral Organoid Kit (Cat. No. NCC200503ZP) is a defined, serum-free cell culture medium that can reliably produce brain organs derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC) through a simple four-stage protocol. Cerebral organoids are three-dimensional in vitro models with in vitro composition, with cell composition and structural organization representing human brain development. Brain organoid formation begins through an intermediate embryoid body (EB) formation step, and then neuroepithelial cells are expanded. After maturity, organoids generated using this kit have cortical-like areas, such as ventricular area (PAX6 + / SOX2 + / Ki-67 +), extraventricular area (Ki-67 + / p-Vimentin +), middle area (TBR2 +) and cortical plate (CTIP2 + / MAP2 + / TBR1 + ), their layering directions are similar to those observed in vivo.

For longer organoid culture times (>40 days), the components required for organoid maturation can be purchased as the NeuroInduc™ Cerebral Organoid Maturation kit (Catalog#NCC200610ZP).

Q&As

How long does it take for organoids to mature using this kit?

The maturation process using the kit typically takes 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the specific protocol and desired level of maturity. This timeframe allows for the development of complex neural networks and advanced brain-like structures. The protocol provides guidance on optimizing conditions to achieve the best results in a reasonable timeframe.

What kind of neuronal and glial markers can I expect to express in the matured organoids?

Matured organoids typically express a range of neuronal markers such as MAP2, NeuN, and synaptophysin, as well as glial markers like GFAP and S100β. The kit promotes the development of diverse neural cell types, including cortical neurons and astrocytes, allowing for detailed studies of brain structure and function at both cellular and molecular levels.

Can I use this kit with any human pluripotent stem cell line?

Yes, the kit is compatible with most human pluripotent stem cell lines, including both embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells. However, it is important to verify the quality and differentiation potential of your stem cell line, as variations can affect the efficiency of organoid maturation and the overall experimental outcome.
