By tracking neural crest cells in catshark embryos, researchers discovered that the molecular toolkit behind face-building is ...

A new study reveals that axon formation is driven by an internal molecular zipper protein complex called Arp2/3.

Sialic acid is a natural sugar building block found on the surfaces of our cells. It acts as a protective and recognition molecule and plays a central role in the development of the nervous system.

Human embryo models can help researchers study early human development and infertility without relying solely on human ...

DZNE researchers have uncovered a mechanism that determines why a neuron usually forms a single, long extension called an ...

DZNE researchers have uncovered a mechanism that determines why a neuron usually forms a single, long extension called “axon” – a phenomenon that is fundamental to how our brain functions. Contrary to ...

By the time we’re born, our brains have all the hardware in place to form thoughts, and possibly even some conscious awareness ...

Developing novel ways to refine, reduce and replace the use of animals in research and enhance animal and human health.

Until recently, the idea of cloning a Neanderthal seemed exclusively a science fiction plot. However, today such issues are ...

In the earliest stages of life, mammalian embryos start as a disorganized cluster of cells. As development progresses, these cells become organized into well-defined shapes and structures. This ...

Thyroid problems are far more common than most women realise, and they can quietly affect fertility, conception, and ...
