Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed.

Neuron-D, a start-up in Dresden, Germany, wants to change this with a hydrogel-based 3D cell-culture model in which neurons behave more as they do in people. Read more about The Spinoff Prize ...
