Just as Sonic hedgehog signalling is required for the specification of ventral neuronal subtypes, so the bone morphogenetic protein (Bmp) signalling pathway is emerging as a key regulator of ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital imaged cellular projections called cytonemes that transfer signals across long distances during development St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital ...

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 ...

When a vertebrate embryo develops, a group of cells self-organizes into the neural tube, eventually becoming the brain and the spinal cord. This involves specific signals, but how these signals are ...

New research has revealed how the famous tumour suppressor gene p53 is surprisingly critical for development of the neural tube in female embryos. New research has revealed how the famous tumour ...

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 ...

At every stage of fetus development in a pregnancy, care needs to be taken to monitor the growth of the baby. The neural tube plays an important role in the development of the fetus. As the fetus ...
