Cerebral organoids or brain organoids were developed in 2013 by Madeline Lancaster and J\u00fcrgen Knoblich. Brain organoids are also called mini-brains and they are a powerful tool to grow brain-like structures in petri dishes. Brain organoids enable studies on the development of brains, brain diseases or brain infections. In this video, we will talk how we can make brain organoids and how we use brain organoids.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd2c Subscribe for more awesome biomedical research: <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2SRMqhC\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2SRMqhC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd2c Ready for awesome scientific discussion?!

Brain organoids or cerebral organoids are laboratory-grown structures which mimic parts of the brain. Brain organoids establish regions with multiple layers of neurons comparable to the developing brain. However, cells within brain organoids are less specific compared to cells we find in the brain. We also do not find any specific \\.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This episode is all about brain organoids.
