RNA-Seq of human spinal cord organoids generated in Matrigel and alginate

This experiment compares the transcriptome profile of human spinal cord organoids generated from iPSCs in Matrigel, 1% alginate hydrogel, or 2% alginate hydrogel. Spinal cord organoids were generated from human iPSCs and then encapsulated in the respective hydrogels before further maturation. Organoids were harvested on days 30, 60, and 90 for each group. In addition to the differences between hydrogel groups, neuronal and glial markers at each time point were also assessed for the development of the organoids.
