| Subject: Scientists Grew Stem Cell ‘Mini Brains’. Then, The Brains Sort-of Developed Eyes Sun Aug 22, 2021 10:56 pm | |
| Via: ScienceAlert: Mini brains grown in a lab from stem cells have spontaneously developed rudimentary eye structures, scientists report in a fascinating new paper.
On tiny, human-derived brain organoids grown in dishes, two bilaterally symmetrical optic cups were seen to grow, mirroring the development of eye structures in human embryos.
…
The team hopes to develop strategies for keeping these structures viable on longer time-scales for performing more in-depth research with huge potential, the researchers said.
