Their findings, recently reported in the journal Nature, overturn longstanding assumptions in developmental biology and could change the way scientists think about treatments for a variety of ...

Recent advances in genomics, genome editing, and imaging technologies have revealed that neural activity can rapidly alter chromatin accessibility, ...

A key protein expressed in epithelial “skin” cells plays a critical role in protecting the structure and function of cells in the nervous system of a model nematode, a type of worm, according to new ...

The first stem cell culture method that produces a full model of the early stages of the human central nervous system has been developed by a team of engineers and biologists at the University of ...
