The study shows that fat tissue, when processed and cultured in a specific way, can self-organize into structures resembling bone marrow, pancreatic islets, and even neural tissue. These organoids ...

In a recent study published in Cell Stem Cell, researchers produced three-dimensional (3D) bioprinted human brain tissues, allowing for the creation of functioning neural networks that could simulate ...

Researchers plugged a "brain organoid" into an artificial intelligence system, using the neural tissue to help complete computational tasks. The experiment could mark a step toward "biocomputers." ...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a new type of neural implant that combines stem cells with electronics and has the potential to help amputees or those who’ve lost the use of ...

Precursor cells in the embryonic neural tube are organized in a specific striped pattern which depends on the signals they receive (left). Lehr and colleagues recreated this pattern in a cell culture ...

Researchers have used a novel technique to 3D print brain tissue whose cells developed into functional neurons that communicated with each other in a matter of weeks. They say the approach could be ...

Letting human brain organoids grow in animal brains could be an ethical new option for experimental studies of neurological disorders. Using this technique, scientists should be able to create new ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers fabricated cerebral cortical tissues in three dimensions (3D) and functionally integrated them into a brain lesion in mice. Study: ...
