In about one out of every 1,000 pregnancies, the neural tube, a key nervous system structure, fails to close properly.
When we think about cognitive development, we naturally think first about children growing up. Of course, the neurodevelopment of a child – particularly your own child – is fascinating, it’s a ...
How does the neural tube close? A new study uses physics-based modeling to reveal the actin "purse-string" mechanism and cellular coordination that prevents spina bifida.
The Wistar Institute's Alessandro Gardini, Ph.D., and lab have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular "bridge" ...
Their findings, recently reported in the journal Nature, overturn longstanding assumptions in developmental biology and could ...
Researchers from the Paris Brain Institute and Sainte-Justine University Hospital in Montreal have, for the first time, ...
When do peripheral nerves develop? Researchers used "mosaic barcodes" to prove that neural crest cells commit to their ...
