CULTURING HUMAN BRAINS IN 3D




In this scientific study , the researchers were able to artificially grow a mini brain in 3D.  This study stands out due to the  following reasons :- 


  (1) for the first time an embryonic prototype of whole brain was reproduced in vitro;
  (2) the structures, derived by methodology, which based on tissue self-assembly, got a name “organoids”; 
  (3) it proves the utility of such organoids for disease modeling;
  (4) it demonstrates the progress and significance in moving from 2D to 3D culture systems
