flag Irish scientists enhanced lab-grown brain organoids with better blood vessels, improving their use in studying brain diseases.

flag Scientists at the University of Galway have improved lab-grown cerebral organoids by enabling deeper blood vessel growth, reducing cell death by up to threefold and supporting a blood-brain barrier-like structure. flag Using a biocompatible hydrogel and vascular cells, researchers enhanced nutrient delivery in these mini-brain models, making them more physiologically relevant for studying Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and stroke. flag The findings, published in Advanced Science and involving collaborators from Ireland and the UK, mark a significant advancement in neuroscience research.
