The thalamus serves as a central hub for relaying sensory and motor information, and its development is governed by a tightly regulated interplay of signalling pathways and gene regulatory networks.

The establishment and maintenance of neuronal identity are critically dependent on a finely tuned interplay between transcription factors and the epigenetic landscape. Central to this network is the ...

Q: What fascinates you about the eye? A: The eye is an absolutely fascinating organ because it's an organ of extreme perfection, as Darwin has called it. We are able to adjust the focus, we are able ...

Gene regulation in our cells – the decision when which proteins are produced for the various processes of the cell – is strictly regulated. It has long been assumed that this regulation deteriorates ...

Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...
