Experiment fără precedent, condus la Stanford de profesorul român Sergiu Pașca / Cum a fost creat șoarecele cu 90% creier uman

Researchers are studying genetically modified mice with human brain tissue to understand neurological functions and diseases. The experiment, led by Romanian professor Sergiu Pașca at Stanford, involves transplanting human cortical organoids into mice lacking significant brain regions. The human tissue not only survived but integrated with the mice's nervous system, raising ethical questions about cognitive capabilities. The study aims to create models for investigating brain diseases and testing treatments, while also revealing rare human neurons in the transplanted tissue. The findings could advance our understanding of human brain function in living organisms.
