NEW 3D PRINTING APPROACH OFFERS HOPE FOR BRAIN INJURY REPAIR

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Scientists from the University of Oxford have created brain tissue using human stem cells through 3D printing. They were able to replicate the structure of the brain's cerebral cortex using the technique. The technology will provide researchers with new ways to explore the workings of the brain. It also offers hopes to individuals who have brain injuries as there is evidence that the printed tissue can integrate with live brains.
