This new model, however, simulates the development of all components of the central nervous system at once, something that prior models did not accomplish. The team of engineers and biologists aimed ...

Human stem cells coaxed to mimic the very early central nervous system Date: February 26, 2024 Source: University of Michigan Summary: The first stem cell culture method that produces a full model ...

Model produced with 3D printer In the current study, the researchers used human stem cells generated from skin and programmed to become motor neuron progenitors, a type of immature nerve cell that ...

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.

Pain on a Plate. The model — called a “sensory assembloid” — is made from human skin cells that scientists reprogrammed into stem cells (known as human-induced pluripotent stem cells).

Hesperos’ development of this peripheral nervous system myelination model aligns with the three goals of the FDA Modernization Act 2.0 which aims to reduce, replace and refine alternatives to ...

A team has made a major breakthrough in the field of three-dimensional (3D) imaging of large-scale biological tissues. They developed the world's fastest high-definition 3D imaging technology for ...

Rare discovery: How a gene mutation causes higher intelligence Date: May 10, 2022 Source: Universität Leipzig Summary: When genes mutate, this can lead to severe diseases of the human nervous system.

With the aid of a 3D printer, researchers at Uppsala University have succeeded in creating a model that resembles human nerve tissue. The model, which can be cultured from the patient's own cells ...
