Human-mouse hybrid model created to study neurodevelopmental disorders
Irish IndependentLO·2 days ago
Researchers successfully transplanted lab-grown human brain organoids into bioengineered mice, marking a milestone in studying neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders. The technique enables in-vivo modeling of conditions like autism and schizophrenia, though functional integration and long-term effects remain uncertain. This development could accelerate drug testing and disease mechanism research.
