A recent study published in Nature Communications demonstrated how droplet-based three-dimensional (3D) printing could help fabricate cerebral cortex tissues comprising layer-specific neurons ...

Droplets containing human iPSC-derived neural progenitors were 3D-printed to form 2-layer cerebral cortical tissue, which was cultured before implantation into a mouse brain slice. DNPs: deep-layer ...

Potential treatments for severe brain injury include tissue regeneration. To date, however, these treatments have shown little progress. For example, in preclinical studies, implants consisting of ...

Scientists at MIMETAS have published a new study describing a scalable, self-assembling human blood-brain barrier (BBB) model that combines physiological relevance with high-throughput capability. The ...

In a scientific first, researchers at theUniversity of Oxford have 3D printed stem cells that can mimic the architecture of the cerebral cortex, the human brain’s outer layer. The technique could ...

The cerebral cortex, the brain's outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered, layered structure. Its proper development requires newly generated neurons to ...

In an article published in Advanced Science, the researchers identify how neural stem cells in preterm infants are injured following cerebral hemorrhage. "We have managed to create a model where we ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Scientists showed that it’s possible to reproduce an entire cerebral cortex inside one of the world’s fastest computers. The model represents the ...
