In a remarkable scientific victory, scientists have created the first 3D-printed brain tissue that functions similarly to natural brain tissue.
This is a major achievement in the search for cutting-edge treatments for neurological and neurodevelopmental problems.
Professor of neuroscience and neurology at the Waisman Centre at the University of Wisconsin, Su-Chun Zhang, said: "This could be a hugely powerful model to help us understand how brain cells and parts of the brain communicate in humans,
"It could change the way we look at stem cell biology, neuroscience, and the pathogenesis of many neurological and psychiatric disorders."
Scientists developed the brain tissue by positioning brain cells in the 3D player with neurons grown from induced pluripotent stem cells in a softer "bio-ink" gel.
As per experts, "the printing technique offers an advanced level of precision not seen in other approaches, including brain organoids, miniature organs used to study brains. The technique offers control over the types as well as arrangements of cells, with proper organisation and control."
