A team at Stanford University in California is the first to combine different neurons grown from human stem cells into a functioning brain circuit in a lab dish. Their experiments, published in Nature ...

Organoids have revolutionized science and medicine, providing platforms for disease modeling, drug testing, and understanding ...

Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of humans' most prominent nervous pathways for sensing ...

Scientists created a model of the human pain pathway in a dish by connecting four separate brain organoids. The feat should help them understand sensory disorders like those affecting pain perception.

For the first time, scientists have generated a functional neural pathway for sensing pain in a dish. This could help unravel ...

Researchers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine have discovered a new way that neurons act in neurodegeneration by using human neural organoids – also known as ...

Three-dimensional models allow researchers to better represent complex tissues and cell-cell interactions. This article ...

Scientists at Ohio State University have made a surprising discovery about how brain cells may contribute to diseases like ...

Using in-vitro models of a specific type of brain cell, scientists have demonstrated that neurons can transform from one type ...

Four tiny 3D organs connected themselves in a lab dish, forming a replica of the human pain pathway, in a new study. The discovery allows scientists to better understand chronic pain and how pain ...

It sounds like science fiction. Or one of Elon Musk’s more whacked-out tech fantasies. But an American composer who died in 2021 is still creating music via an artificially-created brain. How? What?

Mar. 13, 2025 — A study shows that high-grade glioma tumor cells harboring DNA alterations in the gene PDGFRA responded to the drug avapritinib, which is already approved by the United States ...
