3D 'Mini Brains' Developed to Accelerate Multiple Sclerosis Research

Researchers from Australia and New Zealand have engineered 3D 'mini brains' from reprogrammed adult stem cells, creating a human-like central nervous system cell model. Published in Nature Neuroscience, this model provides a detailed view of myelin destruction and regeneration, offering a new platform to screen drugs that could protect or restore myelin and potentially speed up the search for treatments for multiple sclerosis.
