From the moment an embryo starts to take shape, two-way communication is critical for making sure tissues and organs develop ...

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 ...

Building on previous efforts to create a platform for the extended study of primate embryos in cell culture, two new reports from the State Key Laboratory of Primate Biomedical Research, Kunming ...

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 ...

Discover the first images of cytonemes during mammalian neural development, serving as express routes to establish morphogen gradients and tissue patterning. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital ...

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 ...

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 ...

Netrin1 is a protein that was first characterized for its axon guidance activities during embryonic development. The netrin family has been shown to play many critical roles in developmental and ...
