The first organized stem cell culture model that resembles all three sections of the embryonic brain and spinal cord, and produces a full model of the early stages of the human central nervous system, ...

UCLA scientists have developed advanced miniature 3D tumor organoid models that make it possible to study glioblastoma tumors in a setting that closely mirrors the human brain, shedding light on how ...

In a first for USC Stem Cell scientists, the laboratory of Giorgia Quadrato, an assistant professor of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine, has pioneered a novel human brain organoid model ...

Researchers have developed a model that rapidly converts stem cells to brain cells with protein structures characteristic of Parkinson's disease (PD), enabling the study of the condition's unique and ...

In a first for USC Stem Cell scientists, the laboratory of Giorgia Quadrato has pioneered a novel human brain organoid model that generates all the major cell types of the cerebellum, a hindbrain ...

Scientists have created a novel organoid model of the human brain that contains astrocytes -- which have been excluded from other models thus far -- to study inflammation in diseases like Alzheimer's.

Tiny cerebellar organoids in a culture flask. Credit: Sergio Bianco Brain organoids are grown in a lab using stem cells, and can mimic the functions of different regions of the brain like the cortex, ...

A study led by Cambridge researchers has shed light on how neural stem cell grafts could help restore myelin in the central nervous system. The findings suggest that neural stem cell‐based therapies ...

Recent research has identified a specific biological mechanism that may explain why females experience more severe impairments in brain cell regeneration associated with Alzheimer’s disease. The ...
