Lab-grown mini-brain with blood vessels could help slash 90% neurodrug failure rate

Lab-Grown Mini-Brain with Blood Vessels Could Help Slash 90% Neurodrug Failure Rate Johns Hopkins University researchers have developed a novel whole-brain organoid. This model is unique because it mimics a real brain’s blood vessels, which are essential for delivering nutrients and drugs to brain cells effectively. The inclusion of blood vessels in this lab-grown mini-brain […]
