In this new study, the University of Oxford researchers fabricated a two-layered brain tissue by 3D printing human neural stem cells. When implanted into mouse brain slices, ...

A study led by Cambridge researchers has shed light on how neural stem cell grafts could help restore myelin in the central ...

3D-printing is just one entry in the race to build a better mini-brain. One existing option is culturing a single layer of neurons in a petri dish, guiding cells to grow over recording electrodes.

The device has advantages over standard, non-stem-cell neural implants. Its small size means it’s implantable using keyhole surgery, and the use of lab-produced stem cells makes it highly scalable.

In particular, this platform seeks out genes that, when switched off, promote neural stem cell activation in older mouse brains. They identified a whopping 300 genes with this ability, but the ...
