Scientists Engineer Gene Pathway to Grow Brain Organoids with Surface Folding

Thursday, December 29, 2016 - 15:31 in Biology & Nature

Whitehead Institute researchers provide insight into a specific gene pathway that appears to regulate the growth, structure, and organization of the human cortex. They also demonstrate that 3D human cerebral organoids can be effective in modeling the molecular, cellular, and anatomical processes of human brain development.
