We engineered a novel human iPSC-derived organoid system enriched with mature, myelinating oligodendrocytes and functionally reactive microglia. This model enables the study of human CNS remyelination following a demyelinating insult, encapsulating: myelin fragmentation, microglial clearance of myelin debris and oligodendrocyte genesis, differentiation, and axon ensheathment. This system provides a powerful and unparalleled capacity to interrogate complex human cell behaviour, relevant to those studying glial biology and neurological disease mechanisms.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
