The mini brains are derived from human stem cells thus, may be used instead of animal models to test new drugs, revolutionizing the way lab experiments work.
The process may offer more exact test results and prove helpful in the development of latest, more effective drugs. With a normal culture, which looks a little like eggs sunny-side up, there's not a very dense cell wall where all these brain cells come together. They plan to discuss their research at the American Association for the Advancement of Science conference in Washington, D.C. on February 12.
