For the first time, researchers used lab-grown organoids created from tumors of individuals with glioblastoma to accurately model a patient’s response to CAR T cell therapy in real time. The organoid’s response to therapy mirrored the response of the actual tumor in the patient’s brain.

In this new video, Dr. Iahn Cajigas, MD, PhD, and his colleagues reveal how brain mapping could enable thought-based control of prosthetic limbs. This research is hope for those paralyzed, aiming to restore independence and revolutionize our understanding of the brain.
