Physical cues in the womb, and not just genetics, influence the normal development of neural crest cells, the embryonic stem cells that form facial features, finds a new study. Physical cues in the ...
The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.
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 genome-wide CRISPR study maps 331 genes essential for early brain development, identifying PEDS1 as a new ...
Research led by the SickKids Research Institute in Toronto and the University of Pennsylvania, has found that immune-related ...
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 ...
The study used large-scale CRISPR gene-editing technology to systematically determine which genes are required as embryonic ...
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 ...
