The establishment and maintenance of neuronal identity are critically dependent on a finely tuned interplay between transcription factors and the epigenetic landscape. Central to this network is the ...

New study by Chiba University, Japan in collaboration with Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, uncovers novel enhancer-promoter interactions that regulate gene expression during neuronal differentiation ...

Scientists have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular 'bridge' complex demonstrate a new level of detail in the ...

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" ...

During brain development, neurons can regulate their movement until they reach their final destination thanks to a "molecular ...

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 ...

The brain's mechanisms for repairing injuries caused by trauma or degenerative diseases are not yet known in detail. Now, a study by the University of Barcelona describes a new strategy based on stem ...

In about one out of every 1,000 pregnancies, the neural tube, a key nervous system structure, fails to close properly. Georgia Tech physicists are now helping explain why this happens, having ...
