In Dr. Sergiu Pașca's research lab at Stanford University, the resident rats have clumps of human cells in their brains. Blow on a rat's whiskers and the human cells on the opposite side of its brain ...

The tiny blobs of lab-grown human brain tissue were just specks, each measuring a few millimeters in diameter. Researchers at Stanford University made them by cultivating human stem cells into ...

Seven years ago, researchers at Stanford University started an ambitious experiment: They began growing miniature, simplified versions of the human brain from stem cells inside a lab, then later ...

When lab-grown clumps of human neurons are transplanted into newborn rats, they grow with the animals. The research raises some tricky ethical questions. Human neurons transplanted into a rat’s brain ...

Researchers show that brain organoids -- clumps of lab-grown neurons -- can integrate with rat brains and respond to visual stimulation like flashing lights. In a study publishing in the journal Cell ...

Leo is an ordinary teenager who has moved into a high-tech "smart'' house with his mother, inventor stepfather and Eddy, the computer that runs the house. Leo's life becomes less ordinary when, one ...

Move over Stuart Little — there may be a new anthropomorphic pest in town. For the first time ever, scientists have managed to successfully transplant human brain tissue into the brains of newborn ...
