Share Cells in brain organoids made from human stem cells can mature to resemble those of a postnatal brain. S. Pasca Laboratory/Stanford University Brain cell clusters, grown in lab for more than a year, mirror changes in a newborn’s brain Feb. 22, 2021 , 11:00 AM Put human stem cells in a lab dish with the right nutrients, and they’ll do their best to form a little brain. They’ll fail, but you’ll get an organoid: a semiorganized clump of cells. Organoids have become a powerful tool for studying brain development and disease, but researchers assumed these microscopic blobs ...

Canyon News WESTWOOD—On Thursday, February 11, UCLA announced they received a $29 million gift to create the Dr. Allen and Charlotte Ginsburg Center for Precision Genomic Medicine. The new center hopes to improve the diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of genetic disorders. They include both common illnesses and rare diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, immune disorders, autism, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. “I am so grateful to Dr. Allen and Charlotte Ginsburg for their remarkable vision and generosity and for placing their confidence in UCLA’s capacity for inno...

LOS ANGELES (CNS) -- UCLA has received a $29 million gift to establish a center where scientists and physicians will work side by side to examine the role of genetics in disease, and develop therapies that improve patients' lives, it was announced Thursday. The gift creates the Dr. Allen and Charlotte Ginsburg Center for Precision Genomic Medicine. The new center will build on UCLA's efforts in precision health to leverage large data sets and innovative genomic technologies such as CRISPR engineering to improve diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of genetic disorders including both rare...
