Harvard neuroscientists kept human brain organoids alive for over five years, breaking the 694-day record and mimicking brain development |
Harvard neuroscientists have kept tiny clusters of human brain cells alive in laboratory dishes for more than five years, setting a new record that could change how researchers study the human brain. The peppercorn-sized brain organoids, each containing more than one million cells from the cerebral cortex, survived for roughly three times as long as…
