Researchers show that brain cells cultured in a dish can mimic normal cerebral development and even retain “memory” of their own histories. This research, led by Paola Arlotta, Golub Family Professor of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology at Harvard, was supported by the Blavatnik Biomedical Accelerator.

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a tadpole embryo’s brain and record electrical activity with no impact on normal tadpole embryo development or behavior. This novel device could help researchers better understand and treat diseases that manifest in early brain development.
