Integrated Manufacturing Platform for Cortical Organoids Reveals Early Phosphatase and Prefoldin Dysregulation in MAPT V337M Neurons
Abstract
Summary: Human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived cortical organoids are powerful models but are often limited by low efficiency, variability, and stress-related artifacts. To address these challenges, we developed a scalable organoid platform with end-to-end quality control (QC) metrics spanning manufacturing and single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq), developed using eight MAPT mutation isogenic line sets relevant to frontotemporal dementia (FTD-tau). Using a 96 slit-well format, we achieved ∼100% production efficiency across 64 lines. Controlled-release FGF2 enhanced iPSC pluripotency and reduced mesendodermal contaminants, while optimized SB431542 dosing enhanced cortical patterning across lines with variable TGFBR1/ALK5 expression. The resulting organoids displayed transcriptomic profiles and low-stress signatures closely aligned with the developing human cortex. Applying a cortical organoid scRNA-seq index (CortiCOSI), we identified early dysregulation of phosphatase regulators ( PPP2CA, ANP32A ) and the prefoldin subunit PFDN6 in MAPT V337M excitatory neurons before tau hyperphosphorylation and oligomerization. This platform improves scalability, reproducibility, and mechanistic insight in cortical organoid studies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
