Piece of Spinal Cord in 3-D Culture

Caption

The confocal cross-section of a three-dimensional cyst shows the floor plate (green), which was formed after the addition of retinoic acid. Furthermore, the development of motor neurons (white) as well as interneurons (red) was shown. The Dresden researchers could demonstrate in vitro the typical pattern of an embryonic spinal cord.
