Brain Organoid
Three-dimensional neural tissue grown from human stem cells for disease modeling, drug screening, and developmental studies.
A brain organoid (also called a neural organoid or cerebral organoid) is a three-dimensional neural tissue structure grown from human stem cells, recapitulating key aspects of brain development and organization.
Why it matters: Brain organoids provide a human-derived model system for studying neurological diseases, testing drug candidates, and investigating neural development — without the ethical and practical limitations of human brain tissue.
Applications: Disease modeling (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, epilepsy), drug discovery and toxicity screening, developmental neurobiology, and personalized medicine using patient-derived stem cells.
NeuroNexus products: Thin-film grid electrodes and specialized probe designs enable electrical recording from and stimulation of brain organoids in culture.
