Researchers have crossed a threshold that once belonged squarely to science fiction: they have built working models of brains, both in silicon and in living tissue, that can learn, adapt, and even ...

For the first time, scientists have grown functional, brain-like tissue without using any animal-derived materials or added biological coatings. The development opens the door to more controlled and ...

Scientists engineered the first fully synthetic brain tissue model. It’s fully functional brain tissue that they can use to test neurological drugs. They believe the discovery will lead them to better ...
