For the first time, scientists have grown a tiny, three-dimensional model of the earliest developmental stages of the human central nervous system in the lab. The new model is a type of organoid — a ...

Miniature brain models (organoids) help evaluate treatments for myelin damage in multiple sclerosis. These human-derived ...

Scientists from Johns Hopkins Medicine report new evidence that clusters of brain tissue derived from the cells of patients with Alzheimer's disease may be used to evaluate how certain patients with ...

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 ...

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 ...

Efforts to identify and evaluate next-generation therapeutics for pediatric brain tumors are easily stymied by the quality and availability of laboratory models for research. To address this issue, ...

Researchers have created one of the most realistic “mini-brains” yet, reports New Scientist, growing a tiny version of a developing human cerebral cortex, complete with a network of blood vessels that ...
