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…
