An overview of Kif23's involvement in embryonic brain development, highlighting how its deficiency disrupts cell division and potentially contribute to microcephaly. "It's difficult to say exactly ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A fetus develops a brain and spinal cord early on. Find out how this development occurs and what you can do to support it. Fact ...

Neural crest cells are a population of stem cells that invade the embryo in early development. They play a big role in what ...

A new study led by scientists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and INSERM identified genes essential for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, including a gene linked to a previously ...

X chromosome reactivation contributes to reducing the signs of disease in the female brain. Female cells have two X ...

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 ...

The young embryo may survive this exposure, but brain development may be altered to varying degrees. The study published today reveals for the first time that the harmful effects of alcohol on fetal ...

Researchers from the Kind Group have gained new insights into the mechanism behind the spatial organization of DNA within the cells of early embryos. When an embryo is first formed after fertilization ...

Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have identified a mechanism that protects the female brain from genetic diseases. Although one of the two X chromosomes is ...
