MESO-BRAIN

Custom architecturally defined 3D stem cell derived functional human neural networks for transformative progress in neuroscience and medicine 

MESO-BRAIN aims at developing functional, three-dimensional human stem cell-derived neuronal networks of defined and reproducible architecture, based on a brain cortical module that displays in vivo connectivity and activity. Thus, the development of such a technological platform will be foundational for a new era of biological and medical research based on human neural networks.
