For the past decade, medical researchers have been growing living, miniature replicas of parts of the human brain from stem ...

"This lays the groundwork for future experiments in space, in which we can include other parts of the brain that are affected by neurodegenerative disease." On Earth, the team used stem cells to ...

Chanda's team used human neurons derived from stem cells to develop a model of the brain that could rigorously test these relationships. Using a gene-editing tool called CRISPR-Cas9, they were ...
