Scientists have recently made a wondrous variety of mini-brains -- 3-D cultures of neural cells that model basic properties of living brains -- but a new finding could add to the field's growing ...

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 ...

Brain organoids have come a long way. These mini-brains, at most the size of a pea, are made from stem cells or reprogrammed skin cells and churned inside a bioreactor full of nutrients. With ...

In an exciting advance in the world of neuroscience, a team led by researchers at Johns Hopkins University just unveiled some of the first whole-brain organoids – “mini brains” that incorporate ...

The human brain is a master of computation. It’s no wonder that from brain-inspired algorithms to neuromorphic chips, scientists are borrowing the brain’s playbook to give machines a boost. Yet the ...

The Science & Technology desk gathers a weekly digest of impactful and interesting research publications and developments at Stanford. Read the latest in this week’s Research Roundup. Stanford ...

Brain organoids—3D mini brains grown in cell culture from human pluripotent stem cells—are useful models for studying neurodevelopment and brain disorders. However, creating organoids that closely ...

New research from Karolinska Institutet and Columbia University shows that the heart has a mini-brain – its own nervous system that controls the heartbeat. A better understanding of this system, which ...
