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, ...

The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.

Research from Ph.D. candidate Bohan Chen in the lab of Idse Heemskerk of the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology at the University of Michigan Medical School and their colleagues improves ...

These side-by-side time-lapse videos offer a detailed view of how cells move in a growing fruit fly embryo and of how its nervous system develops and organizes. This is a side-by-side time-lapse video ...

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In ...

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 ...

Collaborative work has developed a cell culture system that differentiates human pluripotent stem cells to amniotic ectoderm and surface ectoderm based on cell density. Research conducted by Dr Shota ...

This time-lapse video shows the development of the nervous system in a fruit fly embryo as it transitions to the larval stage. Fruit flies have a high reproduction rate and a very short gestation ...
