Stanford Medicine researchers have grown human brain tissue inside mice that were engineered to develop almost none of their own cerebral cortex, and the transplanted cells produced a rare type of human neuron that scientists had never managed to create in laboratory culture. The study, published Sept. 16 in the journal Nature, reports that three months after surgery, more than 90% of the cortical tissue in the animals' brains by volume was human.
