How humans develop larger brains than other apes
A new study is the first to identify how human brains grow much larger, with three times as many neurons, compared with chimpanzee and gorilla brains. The study identified a key molecular switch that can make ape brain organoids grow more like human organoids, and vice versa.
3D Bioprinting: The Emergence of Programmable Biodesign
Until recently, bioprinting was largely limited to highly interdisciplinary research teams, as the process requires significant input from specialists in the fields of materials science, engineering, and cell biology. With the advent of commercially available highâperformance bioprinters, the field has become accessible to a wider range of research groups, who can now buy the hardware […]
