Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have mapped how cells in the human spinal cord are formed in the embryo and what genes control the process. Their findings can give rise to new knowledge ...

Millions of neurons branch throughout our bodies, keeping them in close communication with our brains. This peripheral ...

When do peripheral nerves develop? Researchers used "mosaic barcodes" to prove that neural crest cells commit to their ...

A human embryo-like model was successfully developed by a group of scientists at the California Institute of Technology, led by renowned biologist Madalena Zernicka-Goetz. The model replicates the ...

January 27, 2009 — Geron Corp announced it has received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for a phase 1 trial of GRNOPC1, a cell therapy derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESC), 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 ...

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 ...
