Scientists have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular 'bridge' complex demonstrate a new level of detail in the ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a method that shows how the nervous system and sensory organs are formed in an embryo. By labeling stem cells with a genetic 'barcode', they have ...

What are the first steps that chart the path for a cell to become a blood cell, neuron cell, or pigment cell? Scientists have ...

• Establishing pharmacologically relevant exposure levels and engagement are two key steps in target validation. • There is a need for better biomarkers to objectively measure biological states and ...

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 cell on its way to becoming skin pigment, blood, or nerve does not make that shift alone. It responds to a dense web of ...

Rice University neuroscientist Chong Xie leads a team that has won a $2.9 million grant from the NIH to develop a state-of-the-art implantable neural electrode system. HOUSTON – (July 17, 2024) – Rice ...

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers demonstrate that functional nervous systems can form within self-organized living cellular robots, conferring complex movement patterns and distinct gene ...

For over half a billion years, evolution has sculpted the nervous systems of bilaterian animals, equipping them with remarkable capabilities to process information, coordinate movements, and respond ...
