The effort seeks to train the model on data that scientists plan to collect over five years—but questions about its utility and feasibility remain.

The U.S. government has touted organoids as an alternative to animals for studying the brain. The model has improved since its debut in 2013, but scientists are still working to overcome key ...

Then, in the 1980s, the genetic revolution arrived, bringing with it the concrete information that embryologists had long ...
