Bioengineers Make Functional 3D Brain-Like Tissue Model

Researchers report the first complex 3D model made of brain-like cortical tissue that exhibits biochemical and electrophysiological response and functions in vitro for months. The engineered tissue model uses a porous silk-scaffold, collagen gel matrix and rat-derived neurons. It offers new ways to study brain function, trauma and treatment.
