3D-printed tissues using stem cells may offer repair for brain injuries

Researchers have used human neural stem cells to 3D print functional brain tissue that mimics the architecture of the cerebral cortex, the brain’s outermost layer. The breakthrough technique has the potential to provide individualized repairs to brain injuries.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: 3D Printing, Brain, Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPS), Stem Cells, University of Oxford

Scientists 3D-print stem cells that can be implanted as brain tissue

This marks the first time neural cells have been 3D printed to mimic the architecture of the cerebral cortex.
