By fusing different human organoids, researchers have created “mini-brains” containing most of the cell types found in fetal ...

The new study can help addresses these pressing questions, according to the researchers. "The brain begins following a genetic 'blueprint' during embryonic development," Fan, the corresponding author ...

while comparable brain functions exist among these groups, embryonic formation mechanisms and cell types have followed divergent evolutionary trajectories. The pallium is the brain region where ...

Lissencephaly is a devastating genetic disease of children that affects the embryonic development of the brain. It is caused by haploinsufficiency of the Lis1 gene product, which seems to be ...

BEIJING -- Researchers from the Institute of Automation at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have revealed the intrinsic ...

Geron scientists can now make eight different cell types from their embryonic lines, Okarma says, including nerve cells, heart cells, pancreatic islet cells, liver cells, and the kind of brain ...

For example, red blood cells look very different from nerve cells, but they both start out as embryonic stem cells. Adults don't have any embryonic stem cells, but they do still have stem cells ...

Science publishes two studies led by an Ikerbasque researcher at Achucarro Basque Center for Neuroscience and UPV/EHU that reveal their unique ...
