Researchers have developed a new procedure to generate human brain 'organoids' capable of myelination, modeling the brain's structure and function more closely than ever. This breakthrough could lead to better understanding and treatment of neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis and Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease.
