Neurons grown from stem cells in the lab form an interconnected network. In this study, researchers used CRISPR to switch off genes in stem cells and then followed how successfully the cells developed ...
The human brain is often compared to a computer, but the latest wave of research shows it is closer to a self-building city, ...
Like the seeds of a forest, a few cells in embryos eventually sprout into an ecosystem of brain cells. Neurons get the most recognition for their computing power. But a host of other cells provides ...
Scientists have created the most detailed maps yet of how our brains differentiate from stem cells during embryonic development and early life. In a Nature collection including five papers published ...
A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...
