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.“ ...
The paper, by A. Amiri at Yale University in New Haven, CT, and colleagues was titled, "Transcriptome and epigenome landscape of human cortical development modeled in organoids." Advanced Search Home ...
My research is focused on using cerebral organoids to model aspects of human cortical development in vitro. I am improving on our current protocols to generate organoids that more accurately and ...
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 ...
However, the heterogeneity and low reproducibility of organoids present challenges to their scalable production, limiting their practical application in clinical trials and drug development processes.
