Human brains grown in mice for first time survive 233 days
In a first, American scientists have grown miniature human brains in mice skulls that survived for an average of 233 days. Around 80% of the 200 mice survived the operation and within two weeks the brain implants, grown from human stem cells, were generating new neurones. The breakthrough could help treat neurological disorders like autism, dementia, and schizophrenia, said researchers.
