Forscher integrieren Neuralgewebe, rudimentäre Blutgefäße, um ein „Vollkorn“ -Gerorganoid zu erzeugen, das mehrere Gehirnregionen verbindet, die frühe neuronale Aktivität zeigt, bildet Blut-Hirn-Barrier-Merkmale und bessere mimische Entwicklung des fetalen Gehirns. Es könnte Studien zu Hirnstörungen und Drogentests verbessern.

It seems scientists are getting better at this technique. I wonder what they will be able to do with it in the future.
On one hand this is pretty awesome research. On the other, I viscerally recoil from it.
Thankfully, science has a long, clearly laid out history of abject transparency and immutable ethical boundaries.
