That viral claim that your frontal lobe “isn’t fully developed until 25” turns out to be more myth than milestone. Early ...
The team of researchers led by Prof. Kristian Franze found that increasing tissue stiffness induces the expression of chemical signals that are typically absent in those regions. Semaphorin 3A is one ...
X chromosome reactivation contributes to reducing the signs of disease in the female brain. Female cells have two X chromosomes and male cells have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. So that the ...
A 3D atlas of developing mice brains using advanced imaging and microscopy techniques has been created by a team of researchers at Penn State College of Medicine and collaborators from five different ...
Neural crest cells are a population of stem cells that invade the embryo in early development. They play a big role in what ...
The role of Fibroblast Growth Factor 8 (FGF8) in embryonic development and organ formation is gaining increased recognition as scientists uncover its wide-ranging influence. FGF8, a powerful signaling ...
To stay in balance, the brain depends on two types of neurons: Excitatory neurons (in white), which increase activity, and inhibitory neurons (in black), which damp down signals. Scientists have now ...
Week 3 of pregnancy is a critical stage when the embryo begins to grow rapidly. During this week, cells divide at an ...
