Tiny lab-grown “mini brains” are no longer just a futuristic curiosity. By capturing the electrical chatter of neurons in a ...

Galway-based scientists have discovered improvements in growing "mini brains" in laboratories, which could benefit studies into strokes, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

Researchers have crossed a threshold that once belonged squarely to science fiction: they have built working models of brains ...

Tiny lab-grown brains are offering an unprecedented look at how schizophrenia and bipolar disorder disrupt neural activity.

Using an innovative new method, a University of Saskatchewan (USask) researcher is building tiny pseudo-organs from stem cells to help diagnose and treat Alzheimer's. When Dr. Tyler Wenzel (PhD) first ...

Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self.

In a pioneering achievement, a research team led by experts at Cincinnati Children's has developed the world's first human mini-brain that incorporates a fully functional blood-brain barrier (BBB).

Johns Hopkins researchers used light sheet microscopy to confirm cerebral organoids, endothelial organoids, and mid/hindbrain organoids fused into one Multi-Region Brain Organoid. Johns Hopkins ...

Image describes the process of fusing two types of organoids to create a human brain organoid that incorporates a blood-brain barrier. Findings published in Cell Stem Cell. In a pioneering achievement ...

Johns Hopkins University researchers have grown a novel whole-brain organoid, complete with neural tissues and rudimentary blood vessels—an advance that could usher in a new era of research into ...

Researchers have grown pea-sized brains in the lab that are offering an unprecedented look at how neurons behave differently ...
