The image shows motor neurons that have been generated from human iPSC (induced pluripotent stem cells) and integrated into a 3D-printed bioscaffold. The cells (shown in red) grow inside the ...

Characteristics of brain complex structure, classification of biomanufacturing methods, key points of functional reconstruction, and application prospects. Brain, the material foundation of human ...

Researchers have used human neural stem cells to 3D print functional brain tissue that mimics the architecture of the cerebral cortex, the brain’s outermost layer. The breakthrough technique has the ...

Your autonomic nervous system (ANS) is the part of your central nervous system (CNS) that controls unconscious activities like breathing and digestion. This system is always working, whether or not ...
