The electrical activity of the lab-grown mini-brains was similar to that seen in premature infants and may help researchers understand brain development disorders. Continue reading Lab-Grown Mini-Brains Spontaneously Produced ‘Human-Like’ Brain Waves for the First Time
Biologists from Tufts University have fine-tuned an environment for 3D test tube “mini-brains” so that they can function like a living nervous system for months. Continue reading This 3D Human ‘Mini-Brain’ Is Made of Stem Cells and Can Live For Months
These “organoids” help scientists understand how color vision develops in the eye’s cells. Continue reading Biologists Grew a Human Retina in a Dish
It’s the first step toward being able to mass produce human eggs using other people’s body tissues or blood. Continue reading Scientists Just Made Human Egg Cells from Human Blood for the First Time
The keynote speaker at the Hackaday Belgrade conference was Rachel “Konichiwakitty” Wong presenting Jack of All Trades, Master of One. Her story is one that will be very familiar to anyone in the Hackaday community. A high achiever in her field of study, Rachel has learned the joy of limiting how much energy she allows herself to expend on work, rounding out her life with recreation in other fascinating areas.
There are two things Rachel is really passionate about in life. In her professional life she is working on her PhD as a stem cell researcher studying blindness and …read more
