Spina bifida and anencephaly are neural tube defects caused by failure of embryonic neural tube closure. Successful closure requires apicobasal elongation and apical constriction of neuroepithelial ...

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 first stem cell culture method that produces a full model of the early stages of the human central nervous system has been developed by a team of engineers and biologists. The first stem cell ...
