Their findings, recently reported in the journal Nature, overturn longstanding assumptions in developmental biology and could ...

When do peripheral nerves develop? Researchers used "mosaic barcodes" to prove that neural crest cells commit to their ...

Scientists have built tiny living robots from frog embryo cells that spontaneously grow their own functional nervous systems, ...

A new study demonstrated that introducing neurons into Xenopus-derived biobots led to the self-organization of active neural ...

Glioma is a tumor of the central nervous system that originates from glial cells, which support neurons in the brain. In the ...

Scientists create living robots with nervous systems, revealing how neurons grow, connect and shape movement in a new biological model.

Two Northeastern University researchers want to make life better for people who've experienced serious physical trauma, the kind caused by bad car accidents or from injuries sustained during wartime; ...

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 ...

The damage from smoking has long been traced through the lungs, heart, and blood vessels. But another pathway may be helping ...
