Neural models could improve understanding of neurodegenerative and other diseases,and facilitate discovery of treatmentsMEDFORD/SOMERVILLE and BOSTON, Mass. (Oct. 18, or 2018)—A team of Tufts University-led researchers has developed three-dimensional (3D) human tissue culture models for the central nervous system that mimic structural and functional features of the brain and demonstrate neural activity sustained over a period of many months.
