Research led by the SickKids Research Institute in Toronto and the University of Pennsylvania, has found that immune-related ...

The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.

Early brain development is a biological black box. While scientists have devised multiple ways to record electrical signals in adult brains, these techniques don’t work for embryos. A team at Harvard ...

Research led by the University of Plymouth has shown that a new deep learning AI model can identify what happens and when during embryonic development, from video. Published today (Wednesday 29 May) ...

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...

Precursor cells in the embryonic neural tube are organized in a specific striped pattern which depends on the signals they receive (left). Lehr and colleagues recreated this pattern in a cell culture ...

A sweeping genetic screen reveals how the brain is built and exposes a hidden gene behind a newly discovered childhood brain ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...
