Artificially grown 'mini-brains' without anim

Researchers at University of Michigan developed a method to produce artificially grown miniature brains — called human brain organoids — free of animal cells that could greatly improve the way neurodegenerative conditions are studied and, eventually, treated. The work offers a solution to overcome Matrigel’s weaknesses.
