The human brain is made up of billions of nerve cells (neurons) that communicate with each other in vast, interconnected ...

Rie Natsume and her collaborators have recently developed an innovative and cost-effective method for generating rats that ...

A study led by Cambridge researchers has shed light on how neural stem cell grafts could help restore myelin in the central ...

Scientists discovered that the brain keeps making new neurons even in adulthood, offering hope for brain health treatments.

AP: Change May Allow Scientists To Grow Human Embryos Longer New guidelines released Wednesday remove a decades-old barrier to stem cell research, recommending that researchers be allowed to grow ...

After 14 days, the embryo enters “an important developmental stage called gastrulation” in which the foundations of the heart, nervous system, and brain begin to form, Lee and Prentice told ...

At the stage equivalent to day seven, the synthetic human embryo models were aggregates of about 120 cells, together measuring some 0.01 millimeter across. By day 14, they contained about 2,500 ...

Many top UK scientists are calling for the current 14-day limit on embryo research to be doubled to 28-days, so they can study the unexplored secrets of early human development. Lifting the ban ...

To craft this human embryo model, designed to resemble a textbook image of a human day-14 embryo, the scientists meticulously transformed stem cells into four distinct cell types: epiblast, hypoblast, ...

They produced embryo models up to 14 days old, which is the legal limit for human embryo lab research in many countries, and the point at which organs like the brain begin to develop.

A stem cell-derived human embryo model equivalent to a day-14 embryo has all the compartments that define this stage: the yolk sac (yellow) and the part that will become the embryo itself, topped by ...
