    Abstract: A method for generating a three-dimensional neuromuscular organoid in vitro includes providing a first cell culture that includes disease-specific neuromesodermal progenitor cells, 30% to 90% of which co-express BRACHYURY/SOX2 and 10% to 70% of which co-express TBX6. The disease-specific neuromesodermal progenitor cells are cultivated in a first differentiation medium chosen from the group consisting of i) a non-supplemented serum-free cell culture medium and ii) a serum-free cell culture medium supplemented with at least one of a ROCK inhibitor, an activator of a growth factor signaling pathway, and an activator of an insulin signaling pathway. The first differentiation medium is replaced by a second differentiation medium within 1 to 3 days after cultivation start. The second differentiation medium is replaced by a non-supplemented serum-free cell culture medium within another 1 to 3 days. A three-dimensional neuromuscular organoid is obtained from the non-supplemented serum-free cell culture medium.
