A new federal initiative seeks to develop stem cell treatments and other technology to repair brain tissue damaged by stroke, ...

Researchers say fetal tissue-derived organoids can offer novel insights into what shapes the different regions of the brain, and what creates cellular diversity.

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.

Researchers at University College London reported Monday, in a first, that they had successfully generated fetal cell model organisms from amniotic fluid.

In a comprehensive Genomic Press perspective (peer-reviewed review) article, an international team of neuroscientists has ...

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 mini ...

The potential for these kinds of machines to reshape computer processing, increase energy efficiency, and revolutionize medical testing has scientists excited. But when do we consider these cells to ...

A specially designed microbe cuts dietary methylmercury levels in pregnant mice, signaling the potential for a new tool for ...

In a world first, scientists have successfully grown human brain organoids – so-called “mini brains” – from human fetal tissue. The organoids are only about the size of a grain of rice ...

The research team plans to pursue the potential of this new mini-brain while carefully discussing with experts the ethical framework for creating organoids using human fetal brain cells.

A new study reveals that neurons in the brain’s memory center, the hippocampus, continue to form well into late adulthood. A recent study published in Science offers strong new evidence that the human ...
