Researchers at the Wyss Institute at Harvard University and Tufts University have engineered tiny living constructs from frog embryo cells that spontaneously develop functional nervous systems, a ...

The biofield, mediated by light known as biophotons, could be the missing piece of the consciousness puzzle.

Lab-grown brain tissue learned to balance a virtual pole with 46% accuracy, revealing how living neural networks adapt and forget within minutes.

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 ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers have now developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment' ...

Spread the loveIn a groundbreaking study, researchers have unveiled a crucial mechanism that demonstrates how the brain actively wires itself, influenced by mechanical forces within its environment.

For the first time, scientists have grown functional, brain-like tissue without using any animal-derived materials or added biological coatings. The development opens the door to more controlled and ...

A team led by Northwestern University and Shirley Ryan AbilityLab scientists have developed a new technology that can eavesdrop on the hidden electrical dialogues unfolding inside miniature, lab-grown ...

In a small lab at the University of California, Santa Cruz, clusters of mouse brain cells have taken on a task normally reserved for computer algorithms: keeping a simulated pole balanced upright. The ...

The same cellular renewal that keeps our bodies healthy might also fuel the growth of cancer. A UC Merced biologist has found that the brain could hold the key to stopping it. Professor Néstor Oviedo, ...
