Scientists have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular 'bridge' complex demonstrate a new level of detail in the ...

The neural tube is an embryonic transitory structure that serves as the primordium of the entire vertebrate CNS. Although the neural tube is continuous, its anterior and posterior parts differ in the ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a method that shows how the nervous system and sensory organs are formed in an embryo. By labeling stem cells with a genetic 'barcode', they have ...

The complex spatiotemporal signaling of human neural tube development is successfully engineered in a device using microfluidic gradients, creating a high-fidelity model of the developing human ...

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 ...

• Establishing pharmacologically relevant exposure levels and engagement are two key steps in target validation. • There is a need for better biomarkers to objectively measure biological states and ...

For over half a billion years, evolution has sculpted the nervous systems of bilaterian animals, equipping them with remarkable capabilities to process information, coordinate movements, and respond ...

A new Yale study reveals that major organ systems in the body aren’t just passive structures operating on directions from command central — aka the brain — but instead are active participants in ...

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers demonstrate that functional nervous systems can form within self-organized living cellular robots, conferring complex movement patterns and distinct gene ...

Researchers at Harvard’s Wyss Institute and Tufts University have engineered frog-cell constructs that autonomously assemble their own nervous systems and dramatically shift gene expression, producing ...
