"Lack of an authentic human BBB model has been a major hurdle in studying neurological diseases," says lead corresponding author Ziyuan Guo, PhD, "Our breakthrough involves the generation of human BBB organoids from human pluripotent stem cells, mimicking human neurovascular development to produce a faithful representation of the barrier in growing, functioning brain tissue. This is an important advance because animal models we currently use in research do not accurately reflect human brain development and BBB functionality."

From Science Daily

These integrated organoids recreate many of the complex neurovascular interactions observed in the human brain, but they are not complete models of the brain.
