Brain Organoids
Brain organoids are 3D tissue models representing one or more regions of the brain. They can overcome the shortcomings of conventional post-mortem and animal brain models to produce clinically relevant results.
Cerebral organoids have great potential for understanding brain development and neuronal diseases. They can also be used for investigating genetic disorders and the effects of compounds. Nevertheless, capturing the uniqueness of the human brain requires functional assays and high-content imaging systems.
