Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach ...

A new study from the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute now shows how human stem cell based therapy may help ...

Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can responsibly use these bits of gray matter.

Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular energy production—a finding that could have revolutionary effects across ...

Scientists are experimenting with ways to integrate brain cells into computer processors. The technology could help conserve energy. FinalSpark's Multi-Electrode Arrays (MEAs) incorporate four human ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

University of Utah researchers at the Pulst-Scoles Laboratory have discovered that reducing levels of the STAUFEN-1 protein ...

ETH Zurich researchers have developed a model that explains how nerve cells in the brain connect during development. Their model reveals that the crucial factor is progressive cell division. This ...
