Researchers have conducted a detailed study of neurulation -- how the neural tube forms during embryonic development. They conclude that this happens less actively than previously thought. This also ...

Pregnancy is an exciting time full of rapid change and development for both you and your baby. While the growth happening on the outside is clear to everyone (hello, growing belly!), it’s the ...

Spina bifida is a spine condition that doctors usually notice at birth. It is a neural tube defect that emerges early in a fetus’s development and can occur anywhere along the spine. In spina bifida, ...

Discover the first images of cytonemes during mammalian neural development, serving as express routes to establish morphogen gradients and tissue patterning. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital ...

Spina bifida is a developmental issue for a fetus marked by spinal cord and vertebrae structural changes. While environmental factors can cause this condition, genetics may also play a role. Share on ...

Bioengineering scientists in the US have developed a soft, thin, and stretchable bioelectronic implant, which they integrated into a tadpole embryo’s nervous system to help them track neural activity ...

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...

Authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how infants born within families who have a high risk of neural-tube defects (NTD) could also be at an increased risk of Down's syndrome ...
