Microscopy image of a human stem cell-derived hippocampal organoid. When the tissue carries an epilepsy-causing variant in the SCN8A gene, inhibitory neurons (seen in red) are disrupted, and ...

A research team, including academics from Malmö University, has developed a 3D model based on human cells that mimics the ...

In the 2015 Pixar film Inside Out, a young girl’s mind is brought vividly and hilariously to life through a cast of animated archetypes, each representing a distinct facet of emotion or thought. The ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers have now developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment' ...

Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...
