Experimentul revoluționar al unui cercetător român la Stanford ar putea vindeca boli grave. A reușit să transplanteze țesut cerebral uman la șoareci

A team of scientists led by Romanian researcher Sergiu Pașca at Stanford University successfully transplanted human brain tissue grown in the lab into genetically modified mice. The human cells formed functional connections with the animals' nervous systems. This breakthrough could enhance research into serious diseases like schizophrenia and autism. Researchers discovered a significant type of nerve cell previously unseen in lab cultures, providing a unique opportunity to study human brain circuit changes associated with diseases.
