This is a fundamental study into human spinal neurulation, which substantially advances our understanding of human neural tube closure. Crucial unanswered questions in the field currently rely on ...

When a vertebrate embryo develops, a group of cells self-organizes into the neural tube, eventually becoming the brain and ...

Scientists identify important factor in neural development Date: November 26, 2024 Source: The Wistar Institute Summary: Scientists have shed new light on how certain biological processes ...

Alessandro Gardini, Ph.D., and his team at The Wistar Institute have made significant discoveries about how specific biological processes influence the development of neural cells. Their research ...

We all need basic nutrition for proper growth, but did you know some foods go beyond that and help with the growth and ...

The Wistar Institute’s Alessandro Gardini, Ph.D., and lab have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular “bridge” ...

Researchers have uncovered the first example of activity-dependent development of hypothalamic neural circuitry. The work suggests a novel role for the hunger hormone in the development of neural ...

“We found that netrin1, which we’ve long known as a powerful architect of neural circuits, has an entirely unanticipated role in organizing the spinal cord during early development.

If you’re trying to get pregnant, the fertility expert says you should take 400 micrograms (mcg) of folic acid daily. Some ...

This occurs during developmental processes such as neural tube formation, and when metastasis is initiated in cancer. Branched organoids embedded in collagen gels can recapitulate the phenotypic ...
