Generation of Gulf War (GW) veteran-derived forebrain cerebral organoids. (A) Schematic of the procedure used to generate forebrain cerebral organoids [Dorsomorphin (DM), SB-4321542 (SB), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin 3 (NT3), Neurobasal Differentiation Media (NBM)]. (B–D). Immunofluorescence images of forebrain cerebral organoids stained for the proliferative markers Sox2 and Ki67, neuronal markers tau and NeuN, the astrocytic marker glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and 4, 6-diamino-2-phenylindol (DAPI) nuclei. (E, F). Images stained for the cortical layer markers SATB2, Tbr1, tau, and DAPI. (G) Image shows astrocyte GFAP staining. Scale bars (B–G), 50 μm.
