By combining morphological and single-cell level gene expression analyses, a team of researchers led by Professor Jun ...

Researchers use cortical organoids to answer fundamental questions such as how the human brain can grow to its large size or ...

For example, there is a distinctly defined cortical plate on the surface of the organoids, with a central cavitation resembling a ventricle, the fluid filled spaces in the brain that produce and ...

Last year, Muotri’s team showed for the first time that human stem cells grown into cortical organoids, so-called ‘mini brains’, could spontaneously produce human-like brain waves 3.“ ...
