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 new study uses precise base editing on human embryos for the first time, proving the NANOG gene is the master switch for body development.

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.

The choroid plexus (ChP) regulates cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) composition, providing essential molecular cues for brain development; yet, embryonic ChP secretory mechanisms remain poorly defined. Here ...

One of the challenges when studying brain development and disease is the limited access to live human brain tissue. Murine models have been extensively used to investigate brain development and ...

The cytoskeleton gives cells their shape and helps them move. Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and Ludwig Maximilian University now show that, in neural stem cells, proteins of the cytoskeleton are ...

Chimpanzee naive pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) can now be grown in cellular cultures, reveals a recent study. They successfully created chimpanzee early embryo models, called 'blastoids,' and found ...

New biotech is helping scientists pull back the curtain on the developing brain and reveal the causes of the condition ...

In the earliest hours after fertilization, an embryo takes its first steps toward becoming a living organism by shedding maternal control and activating its own genetic program. This critical process, ...

Researchers analyzed over 200,000 brain cell nuclei across 11 autism mouse models and found that diverse autism-linked ...
