Embryo model resembles the early stages of the complete human central nervous system
Human pluripotent stem cells have been used to create a complete model of the human central nervous system and mirror its early stages of development in vitro...
Latin for 'within the glass'. Refers to experiments performed in a controlled environment like a test tube or culture media, rather than inside a living organism or cells.
