Researchers have developed a technique to connect lab-grown neural 'organoids' (three-dimensional developmental brain-like structures grown from human stem cells) using axonal bundles, similar to the ...

Scientists at the Salk Institute have created a better brain. It’s a human brain, but it’s very small and it’s used for research. KPBS Sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge tells us about organoids, and how ...

A cutting-edge laboratory technique that turns human stem cells into brain-like tissue now recapitulates human brain development more accurately than ever, according to a new study from Case Western ...

Tiny cerebellar organoids in a culture flask. Credit: Sergio Bianco Brain organoids are grown in a lab using stem cells, and can mimic the functions of different regions of the brain like the cortex, ...

A treatment that could protect premature babies from brain damage showed promise in a recent study in Sweden. Using a first-of-its-kind prenatal brain model created with human cells, researchers ...

The Gallo Lab is a highly interdisciplinary research group that aims to develop new treatments for brain cancers. Our team consists of bioinformaticians, computational scientists, biochemists and ...

For the first time, a lab-grown brain-computer system has demonstrated that human neurons living and evolving in an artificial system respond to medication by learning, in real time, in a game-like ...

The new organoids were grown in the lab for up to 40 days, and they mimicked the central nervous system of an 11-week-old human embryo. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

In recent experiments, rat brain cells filled in for lost neurons in mouse brains, raising new possibilities for growing donor tissues across species. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

Tokyo, Japan – The idea of growing a functioning human brain-like tissues in a dish has always sounded pretty far-fetched, even to researchers in the field. Towards the future goal, a Japanese and ...
