  1. “No lesion” indicates that the organoids were transplanted by needle injection, without further damage to host brain. In the “Follow up” column we listed the latest time points at which experiments were performed for each study. NSG: NOD-SCID gamma. NOD-SCID: nonobese diabetic - severe combined immunodeficiency. MCAO: middle cerebral artery occlusion. 6-OHDA: 6-hydroxydopamine. a: survival of grafted animals was evaluated up to 12 mpt
