Five hundred million years ago, a larva this small swam in the oceans of the Cambrian Period, its tiny form supporting a ...

Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self.

Researchers have crossed a threshold that once belonged squarely to science fiction: they have built working models of brains ...

Stanford, CMU, Penn, MIT, and SkyWater Technology reached a major milestone by producing the first monolithic 3D chip ...

Organoid Intelligence (OI) represents a groundbreaking convergence of biology and technology, aiming to redefine biocomputing using brain organoids—three-dimensional neural structures derived from ...

Learn more about eLife assessments Blood flow to the brain is a sensitive marker of neuronal activity as well as of a number of diseases, including stroke, tumours and neurodegenerative conditions.

In a little over 10 years, organoid models – miniature, lab-grown clusters of cells that imitate real organs – have transformed how we study human development and disease while accelerating drug ...

Imagine a world where JFK lived to 108. Marcel van Adrichem's latest work offers a haunting glimpse into this alternate reality, blending art and science.

In an article published in Advanced Science, the researchers identify how neural stem cells in preterm infants are injured following cerebral hemorrhage. We have managed to create a model where we can ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered a natural mechanism that clears existing amyloid plaques in the brains of mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease and preserves cognitive function ...

Scientists from the Allen Institute have developed what they claim is a first-of-its-kind artificial intelligence-powered database and research tool for neuroscientists. The so-called Brain Knowledge ...

Advancing neurological disorder research requires model systems that more accurately reflect the human brain. 3D cell cultures, such as organoids and spheroids, have emerged as game-changers by better ...
