Stem cells levitated using sound form spherical clumps

When researchers used sound to levitate stem cells, they found that the cells formed into spheres. The method could be used for growing tissues for transplants

Nerve demyelination. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through a Schwann cell and a nerve fibre, showing the early collapse of its myelin sheath. Myelin (red) is an insulating fatty layer that surrounds the nerve fibre (axon, orange), increasing the speed at which nerve impulses travel. It is formed when a Schwann cell (green) wraps around the fibre, depositing layers of myelin between each coil. Demyelination occurs in nerve disorders such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Patches (lesions) of myelin sheath are destroyed and nerve function is impaired. Magnification: x3800 when printed 10 centimetres wide.

Tiny human brain grown in lab has eye-like structures that 'see' light

Small blobs of human brain grown in a dish have been coaxed into forming rudimentary eyes that respond to light. They could help understand eye disease or grow artificial retinas
