3D microchip gives mechanistic insights into human brain -Article By Abinash.D
A microchip that allows scientists to study the complexity of 3D cellular networks at unrivaled scale and precision has been added to 3Brain AG’s brain-on-chip portfolio. In collaboration with Swiss precision manufacturing experts, CSEM, 3Brain AG made the announcement today (August 22). The cell-electronic interface technology will also allow scientists to gain novel mechanistic insights into the inner workings of the most complex structure in the universe, the human brain. Developmental disorders 3Brain says understanding how organs form and how their cells behave is essential to finding the causes and treatment for developmental disorders, as well as understanding certain diseases. However, the company acknowledges studying most organs in live animals or humans is technically difficult, expensive, and invasive. It says new biotechnologies like human-derived stem cells offer to recapitulate the complexity and functionality of human tissues and allow for the generation of novel ...
