Blobs of human brain planted in rats offer new treatment hope
Scientists suggest patient’s own cells could be grown in the lab and used to repair stroke or trauma injuries
Human brain tissue implanted into rats' brains to help treat injury
The researchers grew human brain organoids in a dish until they were about 1.5mm in diameter (Picture: Unsplash) Human brain tissue has been transplanted into the brain of rats to pave the way to treat major brain injuries. A groundbreaking study by neurosurgeons showed that ‘human brain organoids’ or sesame seed-sized balls of neurons were able to integrate into rats’ brains, linking up with their blood supplies and communicating with the rat n…
Rats with ‘human brains’ help research on neuro-injuries
Scientists have transplanted a “mini-brain” made of human cells into a rat in research that could help to treat serious brain injuries.The study involved brain
Human brain organoids respond to visual stimuli when transplanted into adult rats
In a study publishing in the journal Cell Stem Cell on February 2, researchers show that brain organoids—clumps of lab-grown neurons—can integrate with rat brains and respond to visual stimulation like flashing lights.

Bits of the human brain in a rat brain offer hope for treatment of brain damage
Scientists transferred pieces of human brain tissue into rat brains and then made them work together. The technique may be a breakthrough in the search for new treatments for serious brain injuries.
