Harvard scientists grow lab-grown human brains for 7 years, setting a new longevity record
- Harvard researchers kept lab-grown human brain tissue alive and developing for seven years, beating the old 694-day record.
- The tiny brain-like structures, called organoids, grew from stages similar to early pregnancy to early childhood.
- Scientists studied 34 organoids and found they continued developing and producing electrical signals over several years.
- DNA testing showed the organoids tracked their developmental age, which could help research autism, Alzheimer’s and brain ageing.
