Immediate use for the newly developed assembloids could include studying neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism.

Researchers have discovered a new way that neurons act in neurodegeneration by using human neural organoids -- also known as 'mini-brain' models -- from patients with frontotemporal lobar degeneration ...

Scientists have discovered a new protein pathway involved in neurodegeneration by studying “mini-brain” organoids made from patients with frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD).

Scientists have re-created a pain pathway in the brain by growing four key clusters of human nerve cells in a dish. This laboratory model could be used to help explain certain pain syndromes, and ...

To test whether the neurons were functional, the researchers injected them into the brains of rats treated with a neurotoxin ...

In animal models, NU-9 was found to show promise in treating Alzheimer's by reducing toxic protein buildup and brain inflammation.

Scientists created a model of the human pain pathway in a dish by connecting four separate brain organoids. The feat should help them understand sensory disorders like those affecting pain perception.

Four tiny 3D organs connected themselves in a lab dish, forming a replica of the human pain pathway, in a new study. The discovery allows scientists to better understand chronic pain and how pain ...

The nervous system is a complex network of neurons and cells that carry messages to and from the brain and spinal cord to various parts of the body ... to study the human cerebellum using high ...

Karl Koehler builds inner ear and skin organoids from human stem cells to model their development in health and disease.

The hypothalamus is a small but critical region at the base of the brain that controls the autonomic nervous system, ...

SHENZHEN -- Chinese scientists have, for the first time, confirmed the existence of microglia in the peripheral nervous ...
