Described here are systems and methods for deriving both spinal motor neurons and brain microvascular endothelial cells from induced pluripotent stem cells using distinct methods and combining them in a chip format. Neurons cultured alone in chip microvolume displayed increased calcium transient function and chip-specific gene expression. When seeded with endothelial cells, interaction further enhanced neural function, elicited vascular-neural interaction, niche gene expression with enhanced in vivo-like signatures arising from the chip co-cultures. Development of novel media formulations further allow for improved readout of differentiation process, by eliminating additives that otherwise confound differentiation processes and resulting phenotypes.
