Scientists have uncovered how nerve cells in the spinal cord are organized in precise patterns during embryo development - a finding that could give insight into regenerative medicine. As embryos grow ...

Congenital spinal cord malformations affect around one in 2,000 newborns in Europe each year. Although these malformations have been studied for decades, they cannot be fully explained through ...

Scientists have successfully created mechanical force sensors directly in the developing brains and spinal cords of chicken embryos, which they hope will improve understanding and prevention of birth ...

For the first time, scientists have grown a tiny, three-dimensional model of the earliest developmental stages of the human central nervous system in the lab. The new model is a type of organoid — a ...

The first organized stem cell culture model that resembles all three sections of the embryonic brain and spinal cord, and produces a full model of the early stages of the human central nervous system, ...

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 ...

Cells in culture typically form continuous sheets, like skin. But in 2017, bioengineer Jianping Fu realized that if he cultured human stem cells in a 3D scaffold, they would spontaneously organize ...

Australian scientists have discovered quail eggs can help them understand birth abnormalities and other developmental health concerns. They use these eggs to observe embryos in real-time and in high ...

Congenital spinal cord malformations affect around one in 2,000 newborns in Europe each year. Although these malformations have been studied for decades, they cannot be fully explained through ...

The new organoids were grown in the lab for up to 40 days, and they mimicked the central nervous system of an 11-week-old human embryo. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
