New Sensor Lowers the Cost of Studying Genetic Disorders

Caption

This photo shows one of the new CAMEO sensors, holding a human cerebral organoid. Researchers have demonstrated that CAMEO -- a low-cost, scalable sensor -- can be used to monitor electrical activity in human cerebral organoids. Because electrical signals are key to understanding brain function, this advance facilitates research into both neurodevelopment and genetic disorders such as Angelman syndrome.
