Brain and cardiovascular models aboard CRS-35 will probe how spaceflight affects living human tissue and aging-related ...

Stanford Medicine scientists have chalked up a major advance in growing human brain cells outside the human brain—and outside laboratory glassware. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech ...

The human brain is often described as one of the most complex structures in biology, and much of its power comes from how it's organized. Its outer layer, the cerebral cortex, is not one uniform sheet ...

Cambridge scientists have grown miniature circuits in the lab that mimic how the brain and spinal cord connect, which underlies human movement. They used this model to show how damage to these ...

A landmark experiment led by Stanford University researchers expands the scope of what we can learn from lab-grown neural models, dramatically improving the integration of a human cortical organoid ...

Scientists have engineered human stem cell-derived spheroids containing myelinating oligodendrocytes and reactive microglia that model demyelination and successful remyelination, offering a ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

Scientists have made mice with a remarkable amount of room for human brain tissue to grow. By genetically engineering animals lacking part of their brain, researchers created a living model in which ...
