This paper introduces a multi-lineage gastruloid model that integrates cardiogenesis and neurogenesis, showing interconnected cardiac and neuronal lineages in a single human model.

The paper develops a novel gastruloid model integrating central and peripheral nervous system development to study early neurodevelopment and opioid receptor effects.

The paper develops in vitro neural ribbons from hiPSCs via neuromesodermal progenitors to generate spinal neurons and support cells, showing their survival and function in a rat SCI model.
