Millions of neurons branch throughout our bodies, keeping them in close communication with our brains. This peripheral ...
When do peripheral nerves develop? Researchers used "mosaic barcodes" to prove that neural crest cells commit to their ...
Precursor cells in the embryonic neural tube are organized in a specific striped pattern which depends on the signals they receive (left). Lehr and colleagues recreated this pattern in a cell culture ...
Early brain development is a biological black box. While scientists have devised multiple ways to record electrical signals in adult brains, these techniques don’t work for embryos. A team at Harvard ...
Dolutegravir is a preferred medication for treating HIV infection, but it recently has been linked to a 6- to 9-fold increase in the risk for neural tube defects among babies born to mothers receiving ...
Neural tube defects happen because the neural tube does not fuse during early embryonic development. Open neural tube defects are those in which the affected region of the neural tube is exposed on ...
Several conditions associated with human neural-tube defects are known to occur naturally in dogs. A gene related to neural tube defects in dogs has for the first time been identified by researchers ...
Their findings, recently reported in the journal Nature, overturn longstanding assumptions in developmental biology and could ...
