Un equipo de la Universidad de Stanford (Estados Unidos) con participación española ha logrado trasplantar organoides corticales -fragmentos de tejido cerebral humano cultivado en laboratorio- en ratones modificados mediante bioingeniería para carecer de casi toda su corteza cerebral, la capa del cerebro responsable, entre otras cosas, de la cognición. El tejido humano no solo sobrevivió, sino que además creció y desarrolló conexiones funcionales con el cerebro y la médula espinal de los...
