"The same jarring imagery of a fried egg could apply to fetal brain development in places with higher-than-recommended levels ...

"These cells co-develop together, just like they would in an actual embryo, and establish that history of being neighbors," ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

A new study in Brain Medicine explores how maternal immune activation (MIA) affects hippocampal neuron function in newborn ...

Using CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into embryo-like structures, scientists were able to create 'programmable' cellular models of embryos without ever experimenting ...

Feb. 25 (UPI) --A new, wide-ranging review of existing scientific data released Tuesday is pointing to the possibility that dozens of commonly prescribed drugs could adversely affect brain ...

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost ...

Brain organoids, three-dimensional models of the brain, are a boon to neuroscience, making it possible to study the ...

Brain Cells Remain Healthy After a Month on ... Nr1h2: A Key Transcription Factor Unlocks New Potential in Stem Cell-Based Embryo Models Dec. 6, 2024 — Researchers have identified Nr1h2, a ...

Study shows maternal immune activation alters hippocampal neuron excitability in newborn rats, with implications for autism, schizophrenia, and depression.
