In about one out of every 1,000 pregnancies, the neural tube, a key nervous system structure, fails to close properly.

Their findings, recently reported in the journal Nature, overturn longstanding assumptions in developmental biology and could change the way scientists think about treatments for a variety of ...

In a recent study published in Cell Stem Cell, researchers produced three-dimensional (3D) bioprinted human brain tissues, allowing for the creation of functioning neural networks that could simulate ...

How does the neural tube close? A new study uses physics-based modeling to reveal the actin "purse-string" mechanism and cellular coordination that prevents spina bifida.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes structural damage to neural circuits, which in turn leads to sensory and motor dysfunction. Transplantation of neural precursor cells/stem cells provides a potential ...

Neural tube defects, such as Spina bifida, are one of the leading congenital disorders (affecting about one in 1,000 live ...

Researchers at Princeton University have developed a three-dimensional bioelectronic device that integrates living brain ...

CNS-3D Brain Organoids Predict Clinical Seizure Liability Central nervous system (CNS) toxicity accounts for 25% of safety ...

Millions of neurons branch throughout our bodies, keeping them in close communication with our brains. This peripheral network begins to take shape long before birth, as the cells of a growing embryo ...
