In a path-breaking scientific endeavour, researchers have created the world’s first 3D-printed brain tissue that behaves like a natural brain tissue. This is being considered a major leap towards the development of advanced solutions to neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Scientists develop world’s first 3D-printed brain tissue that functions like human brain

The brain is amazing because neurons do two jobs: processing and remembering. Regular computers keep these jobs separate, but Brainoware is different. It combines real human brain tissue with electronics to make a new kind of computer.

In order to uninterruptedly observe brain tissues as they grow and develop, scientists from Indian and American institutes claim to have developed a novel solution in cell culture, ie, the controlled growth of cells in a lab.
