Researchers have developed a method to produce lab-grown human brain organoids free of animal cells, using an engineered extracellular matrix. This breakthrough allows for more accurate replication of human brain conditions and could lead to personalized treatments for neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS and Alzheimer's. The new brain organoids showed enhanced neurogenesis compared to previous studies, offering a more accurate study and treatment of neurodegenerative conditions.
