In a human cell-based brain model, repetitive physical injuries reactivate the common virus, Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV-1), ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed.

have developed a 3D-printed ‘brain-like environment’ where neurons grow similarly to a real brain. Using tiny nanopillars, they mimic the soft neural tissue and the brain extracellular matrix fibers.
