VIDEO: Stem cells mimic brain development in organoid models

CHICAGO — ANA president-elect M. Elizabeth Ross, MD, PhD, discusses highlights from her presentation on three-dimensional cultures of brain organoids at the 2022 American Neurological Association’s annual meeting.
“My participation in the organoid session this year was to talk about some of the work we’ve been doing to take advantage of the properties of three-dimensional cultures of induced pluripotent stem cells that have been differentiated to mimic some of the important steps of brain development,” Ross, professor of neurology and neuroscience and director of the Center for Neurogenetics at Weill Cornell Medical College, said.
