An international research team from the Autonomous University of Madrid and the Technical University of Denmark (TUD) reported that it used 3D printing to create scaffolds for engineered flat brain organoids. The scaffolds allowed the brain organoid size to be significantly increased and, after 20 days, self-generated folding was observed, according to the scientists who published their study, “Next generation human brain models: engineered flat brain organoids featuring gyrification,” in
Biofabrication.
“Brain organoids are considered to be a highly promising in vitro model for the study of the human brain and, despite their various shortcomings, have already been used widely in neurobiological studies. Especially for drug screening applications, a highly reproducible protocol with simple tissue culture steps and consistent output, is required,” the investig
