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 ...

HOUSTON – (May 8, 2023) – Many birth defects and spontaneous abortions occur during the embryonic development stage known as neurulation, yet we have very little insight into how this critical ...

New stem cell-based embryo model reveals previously unknown communication between early tissues that become the spine and muscles in the central part of the body. From the moment an embryo starts to ...

In the human embryo, the neural tube forms between the 22nd and 26th day of pregnancy. Later, the brain and spinal cord will develop from this tube. The neural tube forms when an elongated flat tissue ...

From the moment an embryo starts to take shape, two-way communication is critical for making sure tissues and organs develop correctly. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates ...

Biological cells process data and perform computations all the time. They take inputs in the form of external stimuli and produce specific responses. Recently, scientists have been looking at ways to ...

Neural crest cells are a population of stem cells that invade the embryo in early development. They play a big role in what ...

You can 3D-print nearly anything: rockets, mouse ovaries, and for some reason, lamps made of orange peels. Now, scientists at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, have printed living neural ...
