Senescnece is an important driver of ageing related brain diseases. This project will use genetic and engineered brain organoid ageing models to identify and test better and more targetd senolytics and senomorphic compounds.
Tiny brains grown in a lab could help The University of Queensland (UQ) researchers find a treatment for a rare hereditary disease and, in the process, unlock therapies for a range of other neurological disorders.
Wounds that heal without leaving a scar, and research to prevent developmental impairments in children are two crucial Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN) projects that have been backed under the latest Ideas Grants funding round.
Tiny ‘live’ brain models are being used at The University of Queensland to study a condition causing high-functioning young people with Down Syndrome to suddenly regress.
Studying tiny ‘live’ models of the human brain has helped researchers understand its ageing and find a key to potential treatments neurodegenerative diseases.
Researchers studying ageing in tiny ‘live’ models of the human brain have found a key to potential treatments for Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases.
Improving a “trial-and-error approach’’ to epilepsy treatment is the aim of research that encompasses stem cells, artificial intelligence, brain organoids and drug screening.
