A team of researchers may have produced the most fully-formed human brain model to date. Using adult stem cells, the team claims to have created a brain with 99 percent of the genetic material present in the brain of a five-week-old human fetus.
A team of researchers from Ohio State University claims to have engineered a nearly fully-formed replica of a human brain from adult stem cells for the first time.
The eraser-sized brain contains 99 percent of the genetic material present in a human fetal brain. The only major missing component is a vascular system—which would require the construction of an artificial heart as well.
The brain currently contains a spinal cord, all major ident
