Hopefully this will contribute to stem cell research

technologynetworks.com/neur...

"A team of University of Wisconsin–Madison scientists has developed the first 3D-printed brain tissue that can grow and function like typical brain tissue.

It’s an achievement with important implications for scientists studying the brain and working on treatments for a broad range of neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

“This could be a hugely powerful model to help us understand how brain cells and parts of the brain communicate in humans,” ...“It could change the way we look at stem cell biology, neuroscience, and the pathogenesis of many neurological and psychiatric disorders.”"

This is remarkable if factual. I wonder why it doesn't get mentioned anywhere. Thanks for the info.

I think is getting picked up in more news outlets today. I got it from 3d printing news feeds, not Parkinsons.
