Using single-cell RNA sequencing and genetic screening, the researchers identified key surface proteins that mediate ...

Researchers have now discovered that HAR123, a regulatory gene sequence, is an important factor in human brain development. Even though humans are closely related to chimps, the slight differences in ...

A cutting-edge laboratory technique that turns human stem cells into brain-like tissue now recapitulates human brain development more accurately than ever, according to a new study from Case Western ...

Lab-grown brains don’t have to inspire horror. They’re growing miniature 3D brains from stem cells. These aren’t your ...

In a comprehensive Genomic Press research article, scientists have uncovered remarkable insights into how the earliest brain connections shape infant emotional development, potentially offering new ...

Studying the brain in ways that have never been done before. Women across all industries need more female mentors and role ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins have grown a first-of-its-kind organoid mimicking an entire human brain, complete with rudimentary blood vessels and neural activity. This new "multi-region brain organoid" ...

Lead exposure may have spelled evolutionary success for humans—and extinction for our ancient cousins—but other scientists ...

Microcephaly is a congenital malformation that leads to a significantly reduced brain size and is often accompanied by developmental delay.
