Living Human Bodies Without Brains
Living human bodies created from stem cells without neural components could be transformative for medical research and drug development. There are many open questions–for example, the long time it takes for maturation, whether a body would function without neural components, etc.

Current preclinical models of human physiology, including animals and organoids, do not fully capture the complexity of human physiology, limiting the predicting power of preclinical experiments and explaining, in part, the costly failures of drug development in clinical trials. This is especially t...
