So, so, so skin.

Get your morning mojo going with woolen-like Greek style.

Now with a new recipe, with Vitamin B-6 and Vitamin D. Let's have it!

Mull-a-light, get the good going. Hello and welcome to Curiosity Daily from Discovery. My favorite place to get smarter in just a few minutes. Thanks for joining us. I'm Nate.

How the heck are you guys? We are so excited to have you here with us today.

My name is Callie.

Today you'll learn about a new method to cryopreserve parts of the brain for later use, the personality changes that happen after organ

transplants, and how fungicides cause dangerous fungi to self-destruct.

All right, let's get smarter. Researchers have found a new way to effectively cryopreserve brain tissue.

Wow, okay, so this is every sci-fi lover's dream come true.

Is this a way to basically freeze our brains and then I don't know wake them up in some

distant future? So no not that not that exactly this is no less revolutionary but for a very

different reason and it all comes down to something

called brain organoids. Okay if I remember correctly organoids are kind of like

models. Yeah you're on the right track for sure. So any neuroscientists studying anything having to do with brain function will at some point need brain organoids.

Generally, these are models derived from human stem cells that can kind of mimic aspects of brain development.

Sometimes they're called mini brains and one of the coolest things about them is that they are 3D.

Okay, wait, isn't all tissue 3D? Well, technically, yeah, but no. So most animal

models or cell cultures are basically two-dimensional. Think about them

resting peacefully and flatly on say a microscope slide.

Oh, okay, right. Using mini brains or organoids opens up huge opportunities in the research of things like brain development and

neurodevelopmental disorders like autism or schizophrenia.
