Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prevalence of brain related diseases is expected to increase significantly in the next decades. Therefore, there is a vital need to develop effective, personalized models of human brain that can provide information about brain development, and the unique neurobiology of brain disorders. The use of biomaterials can play a strategic role for the future understanding and treatment of complex CNS diseases. Three-dimensional brain cultures have shown promise in disease modelling, cell transplantation and modulation of tissue repair.
