a, b Immunostaining for primary cilia (ARL13B, red) and cilia basal body (Pericentrin: PCNT, yellow) in ciliated SOX2-positive cells of brain organoid generated by orbital mixing or vertical mixing, respectively. The direction from the yellow dot (PCNT) to the red line (ARL13B) is an indicator of the direction of cilia in neural progenitor (SOX2, turquoise) (inset with higher magnification). Scale bars = 50 µm. c The method of measuring cilia angle. d Quantification of cilia angle based on the migration direction of ciliated SOX2-positive cells. Primary cilia of brain organoids generated by orbital organoid showed a bidirectional manner, whereas primary cilia of organoids generated by vertical organoid showed a multidirectional manner. Data were obtained from three different organoids with two or three different regions.
