Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) A scheme of the procedure. ( B ) Diagrams of developing CONCEPT organoids showing concentric zones of the anterior ectodermal progenitors. A summary of , and , – . ( C ) Morphology of cysts at day 2 showing the epithelial structure indicated by apical localization of the reporter TJ::GFP at the lumen. ( D ) Morphology of CONCEPT organoids at day 26. ( E–G ) Expression of telencephalon (Tel) marker Foxg1, neuroretinal (NR) markers Vsx2 and Pax6 in mouse eyes at E10-10.5. Rostral optic stalk (OS) connected the telencephalic vesicle to the optic cup. ( H–O ) FOXG1+ telencephalic progenitors, VSX2+ and/or PAX6+ retinal progenitors formed concentric zones in CONCEPT organoids. N>5 experiments. ( P–W ) In CONCEPT organoids, morphogens FGF8, BMP4, and BMP7 mRNA expression started at early stages and subsequently formed circular gradients. N>5 experiments. Scale bars, 100 µm ( C, E, M, O, P, S, T ), 200 µm ( I, K ), 500 µm ( Q, U ), 1 mm ( D, H, J, L, N, R, V, W ).
