Abstract

Stem cell technology enables the production of three-dimensional organ-like structures, but engineering multi-tissue anatomy has proven difficult. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Martins et al. (2020) show that generating a common progenitor cell for posterior spinal cord and muscle enables the formation of functional neuromuscular junctions in single organoids.
