A combined human gastruloid model of cardiogenesis and neurogenesis
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Here we extend our previous EMLO gastruloid technology to cardiac (EMLOC) with the generation of interconnected neuro-gut-cardiac interconnected multilineages. The contractile EMLOCs recapitulate numerous developmental features of heart tube formation and specialization, cardiomyocyte differentiation and remodeling phases, epicardium, ventricular wall morphogenesis, and formation of the putative outflow tract. Cardiogenesis in EMLOCs originates anterior to the gut tube primordium and we observe neurons that progressively populate the cardiogenic region in a pattern that mirrors the spatial distribution of neurons in heart innervation. The EMLOC mode represents the first multi-lineage advancement of neuro-cardiac lineages in a gastruloid model that parallels human cardiogenesis with neurogenesis.
