Observational analysis shows increased cytokine release in hiPSC-derived neurospheroids, indicating astrocyte dysfunction.

Astrocytes in iNSpheroids displayed impaired glutamate-glutamine recycling, highlighting functional impairment.
Transcriptome analysis revealed upregulation of inflammatory modulators like CCL2 and TNF-α in the stimulated model.
iNSpheroids effectively recapitulate astrogliosis events, important for studying neuroinflammation.
Neurospheroids challenged with TIC cocktail increased secretion of inflammation-related cytokines such as CXCL8.

Gomes et al. (2025) studied this question.
