Brain organoids uncover mechanisms of virus-induced microcephaly
Date Time Brain organoids uncover mechanisms of virus-induced microcephaly Human brain organoids stained for neural stem cells (magenta) and Zika virus (left, green) och Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (right, green). Credits: Krenn/CellStemCell/IMBA A study involving researchers at Karolinska Institutet and IMBA – Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences – demonstrates how zika and herpes viruses can lead to brain malformations during early pregnancy. The researchers used 3D models of human brains to study which mechanisms are involved in virus-induced microcephaly...
