Brain organoids, or cortical organoids, hold much promise in finding interventions for neurological conditions, and have already proven useful in understanding the effects of Zika and rare neurological syndromes such as AGS. But how are they made? UC San Diego Stem Cell program project scientist Cleber Trujillo provides a brief overview of how the Muotri lab nurtures pluripotent stem cells into becoming brain organoids.

Higher education has long lacked diversity. This panel of academics, who crossed path with late UCLA professor Leo Estrada at various points in their lives, discusses the lessons learned from his unique form of mentorship. They explain how making it in academia can be especially difficult for people from underrepresented communities, and how Estradas methods could be used to help get more students from those communities through higher education.

Os organoides cerebrais, ou organoides corticais, prometem grande sucesso na descoberta de intervenções para doenças neurológicas e têm comprovado sua utilidade na compreensão dos efeitos da Zika e síndromes neurológicas raras como a AGS. Mas como eles são produzidos? Cleber Trujillo, cientista do projeto do programa de células-tronco da Universidade da Califórnia em San Diego, oferece uma breve visão geral de como o laboratório Muotri cultiva células-tronco pluripotentes para que se tornem organoides cerebrais.

You have the option to screen for a number of genetic disorders in pregnancy. How are these tests performed and what can be discovered? Dr. Julia Cormano explains the difference between screening and diagnostic testing, what can be learned from a blood test, as well what to expect from chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis.

Bioengineer Shaochen Chen has developed a method of 3D printing live human tissue that could one day be used to heal damaged spinal cords, hearts, and other vital organs. And, because his technology uses stem cells, the transplant tissue can be patient specific. Now, he's using his technique to help researchers Alysson Muotri and Karl Wahlin understand brain and eye development. Series: "Stem Cell Channel" [Health and Medicine] [Science] [Show ID: 34336]

O bioengenheiro Shaochen Chen desenvolveu um método de impressão 3D de tecido humano vivo que poderá algum dia ser usado para curar medulas espinhais, corações e outros órgãos vitais danificados. E, como sua tecnologia usa células-tronco, o tecido do transplante pode ser específico para o paciente. Agora, ele está usando sua técnica para ajudar os pesquisadores Alysson Muotri e Karl Wahlin a entenderem o desenvolvimento do cérebro e dos olhos.

El bioingeniero Shaochen Chen ha desarrollado un método para imprimir en 3D tejido humano vivo que algún día podría usarse para sanar médulas espinales, corazones y otros órganos vitales dañados. Y, debido a que su tecnología usa células madre, el tejido de trasplante puede ser específico para cada paciente. Actualmente, él está usando su técnica para ayudar a los investigadores Alysson Muotri y Karl Wahlin a entender el desarrollo cerebral y ocular.

Los organoides cerebrales, u organoides corticales, son muy prometedores para encontrar intervenciones para afecciones neurológicas y ya han demostrado ser útiles para comprender los efectos del Zika y los síndromes neurológicos raros como el AGS. Pero ¿cómo se hacen? Cleber Trujillo, científico del proyecto del programa de células madre de San Diego, ofrece una breve descripción de cómo el laboratorio Muotri nutre a las células madre pluripotentes para que se conviertan en organoides del cerebro.
