UCLA scientists have developed advanced miniature 3D tumor organoid models that make it possible to study glioblastoma tumors ...

New research by UCLA Health and UC San Francisco has uncovered why certain brain cells are more resilient than others to the buildup of a toxic protein that is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease and ...

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 ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

Scientists at Ohio State University say they've grown a nearly complete human brain in a lab. They say it's the size of a pencil eraser and has 99 percent of the genes in a fully developed fetal brain ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their behavior.

New research shows how some brain cells fight tau buildup in Alzheimer’s, pointing to internal systems that help neurons survive longer.

Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism by which brain cells die. A team led by scientists at the German research ...

Using cortical organoids from individuals with autism, researchers tracked gene activity over development. Early ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...
