Realizare de excepție a unei echipe de la Stanford, condusă de un român. Un succes ce deschide calea către vindecarea unor boli grave

A Stanford University team led by Romanian Sergiu Pașca successfully transplanted human brain cells into genetically modified mice, paving the way for research into serious diseases like schizophrenia and epilepsy. The study, published in Nature, highlights the potential to understand biological causes of these conditions. The transplanted human tissue developed connections with the mice's brains, allowing for unique insights into human brain disorders. This research could lead to interventions during pregnancy to prevent developmental issues. The team also discovered a molecular defect linked to Timothy syndrome, which has prompted the development of a new medication currently in testing.
