Human Cerebral Organoids Transplanted Into Newborn Rats Integrate With Their Brain
A new study has advanced our ability to model the developing brain by implanting balls of cells – called brain organoids – grown from human stem cells into the brains of young rats. The organoids formed connections with other areas of the rat brain and were even capable of stimulating changes in the animals’ behavior.
