Human assembloid model of the ascending neural sensory pathway - Nature
A human ascending somatosensory assembloid model was developed, which integrates multiple organoids to simulate the spinothalamic pathway, demonstrating functional connectivity and responsiveness to stimuli and revealing insights into pain-related genetic mutations.

Phase I/II trial of iPS-cell-derived dopaminergic cells for Parkinson’s disease - Nature
After transplantation into the brain of patients with Parkinson’s disease, allogeneic dopaminergic progenitors derived from induced pluripotent stem cells survived, produced dopamine and did not form tumours, therefore suggesting safety and potential clinical benefits for Parkinson’s disease.

Young people face many transitions between their teen years and early adulthood.
These transitions can cause significant changes in diet, which could continue into adulthood.
