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

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

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.“ ...

Human cortical organoids showing dividing cortical progenitors; progenitors (green) and layer six neurons (red); layer six and five cortical neurons; Athena unraveling DNA showing activating ...

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 ...
