A "synthetic" embryo with a brain and beating heart has been created by British scientists. It features the foundations of all the body's organs, including neural and gut tubes that protect the ...

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have created model embryos from mouse stem cells that form a brain, a beating heart, and the foundations of all the other organs of the body – a new avenue ...

Neurodevelopment involves the brain's formation of systems responsible for learning, memory, social skills, and overall function. Critical neurodevelopmental processes such as neurogenesis, synaptic ...

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...

Scientists have created the miracle of life — no male or female necessary. Using only a mixture of stem cells, University of Cambridge researchers were able to generate a live, “synthetic” mouse ...

Basel, April 17, 2023 Using a new approach for studying live embryonic mouse brains at single-cell resolution, researchers have identified an active multi-layer circuit that forms in the cortex during ...

A team of researchers from Tohoku University, the National Center of Neurology and Psychiatry, and National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University has uncovered a novel molecular mechanism through which ...

What do the earliest stages of a pregnancy look like? Embryonic development has been extensively studied, but most of our knowledge of the earliest stages of a growing baby come from stationary ...

A new study maps how prenatal stress alters immune signalling in the developing brain at a level of detail not seen before ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this process possible. Among the discoveries is PEDS1, a gene now linked to a ...

Do synthetic mice dream of electric sheep? We’re on the way to finding out thanks to a breakthrough in stem cell research. It’s not going to overthrow mankind from a lab anytime soon, but a stell cell ...

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have harnessed mouse stem cells to create model “synthetic” embryos that comprise a brain, a beating heart, and the foundations of all the other organs of ...
