neuroscience
In a groundbreaking study from the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), researchers have developed an advanced brain organoid model that incorporates microglia—special cells that play a crucial role in monitoring and maintaining brain health, particularly during inflammatory responses. This development holds potential for transforming pharmaceutical testing, especially concerning drug safety for pregnant women. Given the absence of specific antiviral treatments for conditions like Rubella during pregnancy, this advancement is noteworthy for both local and global health communities.
