Turning 30 seems like a big milestone in someone’s life. People often believe that when one steps into their 30s, that person is entering a new and more evolved era of adulthood. But what if we tell ...

Building on previous efforts to create a platform for the extended study of primate embryos in cell culture, two new reports from the State Key Laboratory of Primate Biomedical Research, Kunming ...

Researchers have created model embryos from mouse stem cells that form a brain, a beating heart, and the foundations of all the other organs of the body -- a new avenue for recreating the first stages ...

Cette équipe de biologistes de l’École polytechnique fédérale (ETH) de Zurich (Bâle) a décrypté l’ensemble du processus de formation du tube neural chez l’embryon et le fœtus, de la colonne vertébrale ...

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 ...

Researchers have conducted a detailed study of neurulation -- how the neural tube forms during embryonic development. They conclude that this happens less actively than previously thought. This also ...

The Hippo pathway, a highly conserved signaling cascade that functions as an integrator of molecular signals and biophysical states, ultimately impinges upon the transcription coactivator ...

Spinal neural tube folding shows a transition from medial to dorsolateral neural plate bending sites (hinge points) along the embryo’s body axis. While hinge points are considered an important driving ...

The epiblast of vertebrate embryos is comprised of neural and non-neural ectoderm, with the border territory at their intersection harboring neural crest and cranial placode progenitors. Here, we a ...

Function of the mature central nervous system (CNS) requires a substantial proportion of the body’s energy consumption. During development, the CNS anlage must maintain its structure and perform stage ...
