TL;DR - Transplanted human brain tissue reportedly integrated extensively in mice lacking a cortex, suggesting a potential in vivo platform for testing therapies. The provided excerpt does not include experimental methods or detailed results.

  • The work focuses on engrafting human neural tissue into mice without a cortex.
  • Nature highlights extensive cellular integration as the principal finding.
  • Such grafts could enable therapies to be evaluated in a living biological system.
  • The excerpt also mentions an unrelated AI tool that turns papers into “virtual corresponding authors,” but provides no technical details.
