Scientists have grown mini brains with their own sets of “eyes” that can detect light in a groundbreaking new study. “The human brain is one of the most ridiculously complex things nature ...

Analyzing the brain organoids, the scientists conclude that the FGF8 source in the developing human brain, the so-called ...

This activity map generated by multi-electrode arrays reveals how active the brain organoid is--red means very active and black means silent. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible ...

By comparison, brain organoids made from stem cells can barely make it further than 80 days. Clevers and his colleagues were even able to genetically manipulate their organoids to resemble ...

Beyond the brain, other efforts are developing organoid models in a similar way for different tissues and organs, such as the heart. Human organoids can be developed for a number of different ...

The organoid's response to therapy mirrored the response of the actual tumor in the patient's brain. That is, if the tumor-derived organoid shrunk after treatment, so did the patient's actual ...
