1990-2000 räknades som hjärnans årtionde, men utvecklingen avstannar inte.
World first: brain cells grown in laboratory
Scientists have grown fully mature brain cells in a laboratory for the first time, using a technique that mimics the natural process of brain regeneration.
Möjligheterna är stora:
The findings, in effect, show it is possible to construct an assembly line for manufacturing unlimited quantities of human brain cells, or neurons, Dr Scheffler said. ”We can basically take these cells and freeze them until we need them. Then we thaw them, begin a cell-generating process and produce a ton of new neurons.”
