The team of engineers and biologists aimed to develop an organoid that mimicked the structure of the human nervous system to create a more accurate and useful model of how cells differentiate. In an ...

The system is an example of a 3D human organoid—stem cell cultures that reflect key structural and functional properties of human organ systems but are partial or otherwise imperfect copies.

The first stem cell culture method that produces a full model of the early stages of the human central nervous system has been developed by a team of engineers and biologists. The first stem cell ...

For the first time, scientists have recreated the entire human nervous system’s pain ... the cells built a rudimentary sensory system from scratch. To test the model, the team used capsaicin ...

"This iPSC-based model marks a significant step forward in our ability to study peripheral nervous system diseases," said J. Hickman, PhD, co-author and Hesperos Chief Scientist. "By using human ...

"This is the first demonstration of transplanted human ... ALS model showed that the stem cells delayed onset of the disease and played a neuroprotective role. Now we have clear evidence that they can ...

The reason the nervous system of C. elegans has served as a popular model for studying the human brain is largely due to its relative simplicity. Where the human brain contains around 100 billion ...

The expression and role of the aquaporin (AQP) family water channels in the peripheral nervous ... in human as well as model animals. The functions of AQPs in the peripheral nervous system are ...

To investigate the pathogenesis of congenital human cytomegalovirus infection, we developed a mouse cytomegalovirus model that recapitulates the major characteristics of central nervous system ...

Using a crab’s nervous system as a model, the researchers compared and validated the results of previous human RNA sequencing methods. Since crabs have already identifiable subtypes of neurons, the ...

A new study from a team of scientists at the University of Michigan, Weizmann Institute of Science and the University of Pennsylvania developed the first full model of the early embryonic central ...
