6.20 Can we study brain cultivated from stem cells?

Excited when reading Dr.Guy Mckhann's article on how differentiating iPSCs and developing them into brain cells can inspire many questions such as studying the Zika virus.

The most exciting part of this research involves creating "mini-brains." These mini-brains, about the size of the head of a pin, can be used to study the development of the human brain and how development is altered by a virus. Hopkins researchers are currently using mini-brains to study the Zika virus. This study is just the tip of the iceberg.
