Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

UCR scientists create a fully synthetic model for growing brain cells that could allow for animal-free drug testing.

Researchers have created functional brain-like tissue without relying on any animal-derived materials, marking a major step toward more ethical and reproducible neurological research.

Bioengineers at the University of California, Riverside have created BIPORES, the first entirely synthetic model of human brain tissue. This breakthrough could revolutionize neural research and drug ...

Scientists engineered the first fully synthetic brain tissue model. It’s fully functional brain tissue that they can use to ...

Scientists at the University of California, Riverside have developed a new method to grow more realistic, stable human brain tissue models for research purposes.

Neurological disorders have been historically difficult to treat due to the intractable nature of the brain and nervous system. However, synthetic biology enables scientists to develop technologies ...
