August 22, 2024 Legal Challenges in Human Brain Organoid Research and Its Applications A recent study has explored the legal and ethical challenges expected to arise in human brain organoid research. Human brain organoids are three-dimensional neural tissues derived from stem cells that can mimic some aspects of the human brain. Their use holds incredible promise for medical advancements, but this also raises complex ethical and legal questions that need careful consideration. Seeking to examine the various legal challenges that might arise in the context of human brain organoid research and its applications, the team of researchers, which included a legal scholar, identified and outlined potential legal issues. Notably, the study has evaluated the urgency of these issues, thereby establishing regulatory priorities for the future. The complexities involved in this area have often been overlooked, making this study a crucial step forward. Legal challenges were categorized into five key

April 9, 2024 Are Lab-grown Brain Tissues Ethical? There Is No No-brainer Answer Insights into ethical and legal ramifications of growing brain organoids from human fetal brain tissue. Brain organoids, though often referred to as “mini brains,” are not truly human brains. But the concerns over these lab-grown brain tissues, especially when they are developed from human fetal tissues, can be very human indeed.Researchers from the Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Hiroshima University offer valuable insights into the complexities inherent in brain organoid research, making significant contributions to the ongoing discourse surrounding this innovative biotechnology and paving the way for informed decision-making and legal and ethical stewardship in the pursuit of scientific advancement.Their paper was published on March 4 in EMBO Reports. Brain organoids are three-dimensional human brain tissues derived from stem cells, which are capable of developing into many differe
