Japanese researchers at the Riken Institute have created functioning human brain tissues from stem cells. In a world first, stem cells taken from human embryos were used to form tissues of the cerebral cortex, the supreme control center of the brain.

A significant difference on previous studies was the behaviour of the tissues to self-organise into four distinct zones and conducting neuro-activity such as transmitting electrical signals. In previous studies, stem cells differentiated into distinct cells but had never organised into functioning tissues.

This opens new hopes for cures for diseases such as cancer and diabetes or to replace damaged cells, tissues and organs.

Welcome to The Intelligence Exchange Blog.  Business intelligence is rapidly becoming the hot competitive edge in all industries.

Where once is was held “Information is Power”…business intelligence is rewriting this to “The Intelligence Use of Information Is Power”.

Gail La Grouw, Coporate Performance Consultant at Coded Vision Consulting say she has been amazed how many large, seemingly successful companies are just sitting on an absolute goldmine of customer data….all in unconnected data silos and not being used for anything other than transaction archiving.

Using business intelligence tools, this data can be turned from a cost center to a significant business asset.
