Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell ...

Neurosurgeons could one day thank Ollin Venegas’ MD’20 presentation to high school students for allowing them to create detailed brain models of their patients. Venegas has been developing 3D models ...

Using human cells and cutting-edge technology, the team created a three-dimensional (3D) model that accurately simulates the ...

Understanding cellular metabolism in complex 3D brain models is crucial for revealing insights into aging, disease and neurodegeneration. Traditional methods using 2D cultures or isolated mitochondria ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers of the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands ...

Bioengineers at the University of California, Riverside have created BIPORES, the first entirely synthetic model of human brain tissue. This breakthrough could revolutionize neural research and drug ...

Cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) develops when neurons begin to die, which can be caused by inappropriate immune responses and excessive inflammation in the brain triggered ...

(THE CONVERSATION) – A new 3D-printing technique using silicone can make accurate models of the blood vessels in your brain, enabling neurosurgeons to train with more realistic simulations before they ...
