Engineered mice give human brain organoids space to form working circuits
Stanford Medicine scientists have chalked up a major advance in growing human brain cells outside the human brain—and outside laboratory glassware.
AI Summary
Stanford Medicine researchers have engineered mice that provide a physical environment for human brain organoids to develop functional neural circuits. The study shows that the organoids can grow and connect outside both the human brain and traditional laboratory glassware. By using the engineered mice as a scaffold, the scientists created a space that supports the formation of working neural networks. The findings will be published online in September.
