Surgeons have transplanted dopamine-producing cells derived from human embryonic stem cells directly into the brains of ...

A new study reveals that axon formation is driven by an internal molecular zipper protein complex called Arp2/3.

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost layer of the brain—and examined how neurons, or nerve cells, refine their ...

Certain developmental signals shape not only the human embryo but also play a significant role in maintaining our genetic blueprints. They prevent alterations in the genome, known as mosaicism. An ...

Neurons placed inside engineered living bodies built from frog cells self-organize, become active, and reshape movement without evolutionary guidance. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Understanding how neurons ...
