Long-term minimally-invasive recordings from human neural #organoids & #assembloids have been challenging.
Inspired by the art of #kirigami and as part of a close collaboration with @BianxiaoC’s lab in the @BrOrganogenesis, Xiao Yang and Csaba Forro developed flexible electronics that transition from a 2D pattern to a 3D basket-like configuration to accommodate the long-term culture & functional probing of #organoids and #assembloids in suspension.

"Critically, we need to identify which children are best suited for an autism diagnostic assessment by general pediatricians." journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.… A biomarker or two for triage could be useful perhaps?
