In 2016, Juergen Knoblich was an organizer for the first #EESOrgan.
Today,he gave a magnificent talk about cerebral organoids that help to recapitulate processes occurring in humans after birth and linked to various developmental disorders.
Amazing research 🤯

Amazing talk by Paola Arlotta (Harvard Stem Cell Institute) to kick off #EESOrgan
Hugely impressive:They were able to culture brain organoids for 5 years,and created complex models through co-culturing cells from different brain regions.
Also enjoyable:A short discussion about brain organoid ethics😇
