A 3D culture model of innervated human skeletal muscle enables studies of the adult neuromuscular junction

Highlights:

  • Demonstrated a novel co-culture method using human muscular progenitors and iPSC-derived motor neurons
  • Versatile and simple way to study skeletal muscle and NMJ development
  • Amenable to modeling diseases that target the adult NMJ
