Test Tube Brain Grown to Battle Alzheimer's

Edik Rafalov, professor at Aston University, stated “This is kind of science fiction. We're trying to help neurons to connect and to grow together so that, ultimately, we can replace parts of the brain that have been damaged by, for example, dementia. In simple terms, with dementia, part of the brain is not working properly. If you can replace this part, then you can return people to a normal life. It's no exaggeration to say the project could improve and prolong hundreds of thousands of lives.”
