Abstract

The performed study has shown that in rats submitted to hypoxia (3 h, 7% O2) at the 14th day of embryogenesis (E14) as compared with control animals, density of disposition of cells in the brain cortex decreased for the first month of postnatal ontogenesis (maximally by 40.8% by P20). In dying neurons, swelling of the cell body, lysis of organoids, and disturbance of the cytoplasmic membrane intactness were observed. Two waved of neuronal death by the mechanism of caspase-dependent apoptosis were revealed; the first involved large pyramidal neurons of the V layer (P10-20), the second--small pyramidal and non-pyramidal neurons of the II--III layers (P20-30). In neuropil of molecular layer, a decrease of the mean amount of labile synaptopodin-positive dendrite spines was observed, as compared with control. In rats exposed to hypoxia at E18, no changes of cell composition and structure of the nervous tissue were found in the studied brain cortex areas. Thus, formation of the cortex nervous tissue in postnatal ontogenesis of rats submitted to hypoxia at the period of neuroblast proliferation-migration is accompanied not only by a change of the cell composition of various cortex layers in early ontogenesis, but also by a decrease of...Continue Reading

3D Cellular Models of Brain and Neurodegeneration

Brain organoids are three-dimensional in vitro cellular models of the brain that can recapitulate many processes such as the neurodevelopment. In addition, these organoids can be combined with other cell types, such as neurons and astrocytes to study their interactions in assembloids. Disease processes can also be modeled by induced pluripotent stem cell-derived organoids and assembloids from patients with neurodegenerative disorders.

Brain Organoids in Disease Modeling

Brain organoids are three-dimensional cell culture models derived from human pluripotent stem cells. Since they resemble the embryonic brain, they can be used to help study brain biology, early brain development, and brain diseases.
