In a recent study published in Cell Stem Cell, researchers produced three-dimensional (3D) bioprinted human brain tissues, allowing for the creation of functioning neural networks that could simulate ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

The brain is probably the least explored organ, much of which is due to the difficulty of studying it in situ rather than in slices under a microscope. Even growing small organoids out of neurons ...

Researchers have used a novel technique to 3D print brain tissue whose cells developed into functional neurons that communicated with each other in a matter of weeks. They say the approach could be ...

In news that could be significant for patients with brain or nerve issues, researchers at Rice University have developed a new material that they say can stimulate neural tissue in a less invasive ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers fabricated cerebral cortical tissues in three dimensions (3D) and functionally integrated them into a brain lesion in mice. Study: ...

Light is quietly becoming the new language of brain technology. Instead of thick wires and skull-penetrating electrodes, a new generation of implants uses tiny LEDs and optical sensors to send ...

Potential treatments for severe brain injury include tissue regeneration. To date, however, these treatments have shown little progress. For example, in preclinical studies, implants consisting of ...
