  • 1

    Researchers maintained brain organoids for nearly six years, enabling long-term studies on neurodevelopmental disorders.

  • 2

    The organoids exhibited characteristics of advanced brain development, allowing for investigations previously deemed unattainable.

  • 3

    A methodology was developed to generate stable cerebral cortex organoids from stem cells, addressing previous variability issues.

  • 4

    The organoids demonstrated functional maturation, with sustained electrical signals for at least two years.

  • 5

    Future research aims to increase anatomical complexity of organoids and simulate developmental disorders.
