Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be used to generate brain organoids containing an eye structure called the optic cup, according to a study published August 17 in the journal Cell Stem ...

This article describes an automated brain organoid creation workflow using the CellXpress.ai system, beginning with iPSCs and ...

The human brain, as the seat of mental life—from the most complicated intellectual processes down to routine and unconscious bodily control—is necessarily enormously complex. The largest part of the ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the cornea—can heal from minor scratches within a single day. The brain is not one ...

Using stem cells from four donors, the team made 314 brain organoids in 16 batches, with around 72 percent of them forming optic cups. These structures began to appear by the 30-day mark and matured ...

Neurons from grafted stem cells contain intrinsic codes for navigating and forming connections, which may improve cell therapy for a brain short-circuited by stroke. Some parts of our bodies bounce ...
