A team of researchers at Stanford University has, for the first time, created three-dimensional organoid models of the human forebrain. In their paper published in the journal Science, the group describes growing the organoids ...
Researchers at the University of Sydney have used human stem cells to make pain-killing neurons that provide lasting relief in mice, without side effects, in a single treatment. The next step is to perform extensive safety ...
