Here's How Scientists Replicate Mysterious Organs...on a Chip

LLNL has been working on simulating different parts of the human body on a CHIP! Including one of the most mysterious parts of the human brain. But how? And why?

I love technological progress ;)

[@BeyondBorders00]

I would love to hear more about brain organoids and in vitro neurons used for calculation. For example, Dishbrain from Cortical Labs in Australia. There are a number of university research groups also using neurons either in organoid form or in vitro to perform calculations and solve problems. Please cover this topic

I really admire your work. Where you could upgrade is having a cohost.

Baker BSC's and Labconco? FHs it looks like. Do you do inhouse certification or bid it out?

I want to remove this chip on my brain or body can you please help

[@nighthawkviper6791]

You don't need a chip to interface lmao Dr. Jose Delgado discovered that some time ago...Better get Tom Sawyer over here.

[@maxcap60]

could you grow a brain ad spinal cord that could go in an artificial person? Cyborg perhaps. Or maybe for custom deep space explorers who'd muscles would atrophy otherwise on extended missions to boldly go where no huMAN has gone before?

But. You don't need to grow mammalian cells in a 3D matrix to get tight junctions forming. And if you're looking to understand tight junctions, why stain for actin? Why wouldn't you stain for proteins actually associated with tight junctions like the ZO proteins? And, while these are grown on a microfluidic chip, this isn't what's meant in common parlance when folks are talking about "chips". Those would be computer chips and this video doesn't touch on that at all.

So, technically you’re growing supermodels in a lab.

The content might be interesting, but its presentation has to be considered as a silly one.

[@BwooHuraca]

10-year-old me would've ate this up so that would explain the tone. It's geared towards little ones.

Plsss try to reduce ur overactive expressions and show what exact Actual stuff really needed.
