How a single gene alteration may have separated modern humans from predecessors: Novel study used brain organoids genetically modified to mimic now-extinct Neanderthals
Publicado em 18 fevereiro 2021
As a professor of pediatrics and cellular and molecular medicine at University of California San Diego School of Medicine, Alysson R. "We're looking forward to this new combination of stem cell biology, neuroscience and paleogenomics. The ability to apply the comparative approach of modern humans to other extinct hominins, such as Neanderthals and Denisovans, using brain organoids carrying ancestral genetic variants is an entirely new field of study.". To continue this work, [...]
