In recent times, a hopeful alternative has surfaced in the form of 3D brain organoids, which are cultivated from either embryonic stem cells (ESCs) or induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).

The researchers' organoids were formed from human pluripotent stem cells, which have the capacity to divide and develop into different kinds of cells, such as brain tissues. Beyond teaching a ...

"These organoids reflect what is happening in an individual's brain with great accuracy, and we hope that they can be used in the future to 'get to know' each patient's distinctly complicated ...

Some organoids also included microglia, a type of immune cell that is resident within the brain, to examine the impact of microgravity on inflammation. Organoids are usually grown in a nutrient ...
