This topic is about Scientists grow
'mini human brains' from stem cells. Which the scientists had used stem cells
to grow primitive human brain tissue for use in studying disorders and early
development of this most complex of organs.
They used the cells to grow what
they dubbed "cerebral organoids" – pea-sized blobs of 3D brain tissue
in a Petri dish, with characteristics of early embryonic brain tissue. Development
of the human brain is very different from development, for example, of the
mouse brain," study coordinator Juergen Knoblich of the Austrian Academy
of Sciences told a telephone press conference. The technology should help
biologists study "human-specific" features of human brain development
and disease. It was also hoped the method would allow researchers to "test
drugs directly in a human setting and thereby avoid animal experiments and get
more informed results that are more easily transferrable to human
patients," said Knoblich. Stem cell researchers have made progress to
create 3D tissue of other human organs, including the heart and liver, but the
brain has remained elusive.
I think, the scientists are the person
that important for the world because they can search or develop something that
important for Department of Medical Science.
