Did you know that our brain has its own immune system that protects it from damage? Changes in these immune cells can often lead to severe neurological diseases. But how can we study the brain immune cells in our labs? Let's make some brain organoids and find out!


The talk was a part of a special event organized in cooperation with the research consortium ForInter (https://www.bayfor.org/de/unsere-netzwerke/bayerische-forschungsverbuende/forschungsverbuende/a/forinter.html?fbclid=IwAR2S2DqYtyIReZtlpbiOfHOdtN9VSv65Zd96oIJb1hjcYOi61_FuGEi-8vg)
, which studies the interaction of human brain cells.
