Stanford transplants lab-grown human brain tissue into mice

Scientists at Stanford University have transplanted lab-grown human brain tissue into mice engineered to lack most of their cerebral cortex, creating hybrid animals whose brains are roughly half human by volume — a advance that researchers say could reshape the…

Harvard keeps lab-grown brain organoids alive for 5 years

Harvard neuroscientists have kept lab-grown human brain organoids alive for more than five years, tripling the previous record and demonstrating that these miniature models of the cerebral cortex can faithfully replicate the developmental timeline of a living human brain. The…
