Metabolic analysis in intact human-derived cerebral organoids by high-resolution magic-angle spinning NMR spectroscopy
Human-derived cerebral organoids (COs) are an emerging model system for the study of human neural development and physiology. Here, we describe the assessment of metabolism in human-derived COs using high-resolution magic-angle spinning (HR-MAS) NMR spectroscopy. Metabolic changes during development are assessed by studying COs at various stages of maturity. Our results suggest that COs exhibit a metabolic profile similar to in vivo human brain metabolism, albeit with a few notable metabolic differences.
