High-resolution transcriptional landscape of xeno-free human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cerebellar organoids

Abstract Current protocols for producing cerebellar neurons from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) often rely on animal co-culture and mostly exist as monolayers, limiting their capability to recapitulate the complex processes in the developing cerebellum. Here, we employed a robust method, witho...
