    A) Integration of neurocrestoids with PDMS micropatterned substrates allow for selective guidance and live visualisation of NC migratory populations. After 8 days in a rotary culture, differentiating neurocrestoids are plated in Matrigel-coated PDMS microgrooves for an additional 6 days of culturing. B) Violin plot showing the levels of eccentricity of SOX10-positive nuclei across different PDMS topographies. Datapoints represent the average eccentricity of all SOX10-positive nuclei within each field of view (n=5-250) in 15-17 technical replicates from 1 hiPSC line (Control 3) in 1 experimental block. Ordinary one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons to test for significance between conditions. C) Representative image of the edge of a day 14 neurocrestoid plated on 10x10µm grooves. D) Violin plot depicting the degree of orientation of SOX10-positive nuclei of plated neurocrestoids in different PDMS topographies, where microgrooves have been set at 90°). Each violin plot represents a set of nuclei (n=5-250) in 15-17 technical replicates from 1 hiPSC line (Control 3) in 1 experimental block. Ordinary one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons to test for significance between conditions. *P<0.5, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001, ****P<0.0001, ns= non-significant. E) Representative images of day 14 NCCs from plated neurocrestoids in 3x10, 10x10, 25x10 and 50x10µm PDMS grooves and flat PDMS and tissue culture plastics as controls. Samples are stained for SOX10 and nuclei (DAPI). F) Representative images of the area adjacent to the organoid core in neurocrestoids plated in 10x10 and 50x10μm PDMS microgrooves. Note that wider grooves can host SOX10-negative cells, resulting in restriction of SOX10-positive cell migration (red arrowheads). In narrower grooves, SOX10-negative cells do not fit, allowing for NCCs to migrate underneath along the grooves (green arrowheads). G) Representative fluorescence images after 48 hours of mouse trunk NC explants plated on 10x10µm grooves, accompanied by zoomed-in images of the areas delimited with a yellow dashed square. H) Schematic overview of the pipeline to plate neurocrestoids onto a PDMS multigroove star device. Organoids are positioned in the flat PDMS centre of the device using custom-made PDMS plating devices, which are removed once the organoids attach to the substrate.
