Among the body's most crucial protective features are the brain barrier systems, including the blood-brain and blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barriers. These barriers are made of highly specialized ...

Senescent "zombie" cells are essential architects required to build and maintain the brain's protective barriers.

A team of researchers from Tohoku University, the National Center of Neurology and Psychiatry, and National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University has uncovered a novel molecular mechanism through which ...

An overview of Kif23's involvement in embryonic brain development, highlighting how its deficiency disrupts cell division and potentially contribute to microcephaly. "It's difficult to say exactly ...

One hypothesis for how autism develops is excessive neuron production in the prenatal period, leading to a transient but significant increase in brain size in the first few years of life in about ...

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 ...

A signaling pathway best known for shaping the brain before birth also helps govern how adults learn, adapt, and persist in their behavior, according to new research co-led by Andreas H. Kottmann, ...

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 ...

SCDIRB copy 39088019634765 not included in the Bibliotheca Beckwithiana (unpublished). SCDIRB copy has bookplate: Smithsonian Libraries: The Beckwith-Browning-Peterson Teratology Collection. SCDIRB ...

Using CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into embryo-like structures, scientists were able to create 'programmable' cellular models of embryos without ever experimenting ...
