  • STRATEGY 1
    3D Brain Cell Technology

    At CanniOasis, we’ve pioneered a unique technology to create 3D brain cell structures from stem cells, specifically designed to replicate midbrain cells—an area affected by Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Traditional lab methods rely on flat, 2D cell cultures, but our 3D approach enables cells to grow in a way that closely mimics their natural environment in the brain. This advancement allows us to study more accurate cellular behaviors and interactions, laying the groundwork for better neurological insights.

  • STRATEGY 2
    Human Midbrain-Like Organoids (hMLOs)

    Our human midbrain-like organoids (hMLOs), developed in collaboration with A*Star and National University of Singapore, display neuromelanin granules and key characteristics similar to human midbrain tissue. These organoids incorporate midbrain-specific neurons (A9-like neurons) that express crucial markers (TH, DAT, and GIRK2), making them highly representative of real midbrain tissue. RNA-seq analysis from human prenatal midbrain samples shows that hMLOs better capture prenatal midbrain traits than traditional 2D neurons, underscoring their potential as valuable tools for studying midbrain functions and associated diseases.

  • STRATEGY 3
    Neuromelanin Production and Its Implications

    One of our most remarkable discoveries is that our 3D hMLOs produce neuromelanin (NM)-like granules, unlike neurons grown in 2D or mouse-based organoids. NM is a dark pigment found in brain areas affected by PD, though its role remains a topic of debate—some research suggests a protective function, while others link it to inflammation and toxicity. Typically only accessible through post-mortem samples, NM is challenging to study. Our hMLOs provide a sustainable in-lab source of NM, allowing us to investigate its role in PD. These findings open new avenues for studying PD progression, potentially advancing personalized treatments and innovative therapies.
