Lab-grown human brain cells aged 7 years show signs of 'recording time'
Scientists grew peppercorn-sized clumps of human brain cells in the lab for a record seven years, finding they aged similarly to natural brain tissue.
What to know
- Human brain cells were grown in the lab for a record seven years and aged similarly to natural brain tissue.
- The cells appeared to track the passage of time, suggesting the lab environment preserved key aging mechanisms.
- This milestone advances understanding of brain cell development and aging outside the living organism.
“aged similarly to those inside our heads, suggesting they "recorded the passage of time"”
