The Core Concept: Biohybrid tactile computing is an experimental computational architecture that interfaces artificial tactile sensors with living, laboratory-grown human brain organoids to encode, process, and decode physical sensory patterns such as Braille. Tiny, lab-grown models of the human brain…
Researchers have identified the interferon-stimulated protein IFIT3 as a highly dysregulated centromere-proximal protein in fetal Down syndrome cells, showing that its overexpression alone disrupts mitochondrial function and cell cycle progression in human stem cells. Subject of Research: The role of centromere-proximal…

The team cultured human brain organoids on a multielectrode array (MEA). A multielectrode array is a device that arranges from dozens to thousands of microelectrodes to record or stimulate the electrical signals of cells or tissues. The brain organoids were…
Three mini brain organoids working together performed significantly better than one brain organoid at a Braille encoding task, but scientists aren’t sure why image: The tactile sensor which scanned Braille letters. Image courtesy of Dr Benjamin Ward-Cherrier. view more From…
In the study, published in Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence today [16 October], the brain organoids received signals from a sensor detecting tactile patterns associated with different Braille letters. Each letter produced a distinct pattern of brain activity that a computer decoder…
From A to Braille "After processing by the organoids, the tactile data still contains enough information to classify Braille letters with good accuracy," said Dr Benjamin Ward-Cherrier of Bristol University, senior author of the article. "Combining outputs from several organoids…
Euronews.com Video. Embryo gene editing: How safe and ethical is the practice? | Podcast The use of a precise gene editing technique to edit human embryos has caught the attention of academics and society, yet doubts over its safety and…
Perhaps the most famous example is the CL1 bio-computer from Cortical Labs, unveiled in 2025. Researchers at institutions like Johns Hopkins University and the University of California, San Diego are also busy growing their own organoids. At one point, the electrical activity…
