Schematic summary of the study design. Purple panel: An overview and a timeline of sample reprogramming and differentiation from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to cerebral organoids (COs) or H9 human embryonic stem cells (H9 hESCs) to COs. Red panel: An overview of electrophysiology experiments (action potentials, spontaneous activity, and sodium and potassium currents) in cerebral organoids. Blue panel: An overview of mitochondrial (mt-) genetics (mtDNA haplogroup, heteroplasmy and copy number), function (oxidative phosphorylation, ATP production and mitochondrial membrane potential) and morphology assessment across PBMCs to iPSCs to COs or H9 hESCs to COs.
