Scientists have developed 3D mini-organs from human fetal brain tissue that self-organize in vitro. These lab-grown organoids open up a brand-new way of studying how the brain develops. They also ...

Using microfabrication, tissue engineering, and optogenetic techniques, scientists from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and colleagues at other institutions have successfully developed ...

Complex human brain tissue has been successfully developed in a three-dimensional culture system. The method allows pluripotent stem cells to develop into cerebral organoids -- or "mini brains" -- ...

SINGAPORE -- Scientists in Singapore claim to have successfully grown functioning midbrain tissue -- a feat that may bring researchers a step closer to finding a cure for brain diseases like Parkinson ...

An image of a whole human fetal brain organoid. Stem cells are marked by SOX2 (grey) and neuronal cells (TUJ1) are color coded from pink to yellow based on depth. Scientists have developed 3D ...
