The field of neural organoids is rapidly progressing and has fueled the hope for improved understanding of brain development and functions, modelling of neural diseases, discovery of new drugs, and supply of surrogate sources of transplantation

A team of researchers at the PGIMER on Thursday said they have developed a new prototype to generate neurovascular tissues/organoids from "autologous" blood (your own blood) that can help in precision medicine.
The prototype can help develop patient-specific embryoid models (called precision medicine) for congenital neuro-sensory, neuro-developmental and neuro-degenerative diseases like autism, ADHD, ANSD, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson's.
