New neuroscience research identifies Glutamine Synthetase as the key enzyme driving postnatal brain maturation and neuronal ...
The human brain, like the brain of other mammals, is known to start developing before birth, via a coordinated sequence of molecular and cellular processes. Neuroscience studies have found that the ...

The young embryo may survive this exposure, but brain development may be altered to varying degrees. The study published today reveals for the first time that the harmful effects of alcohol on fetal ...
An overview of Kif23's involvement in embryonic brain development, highlighting how its deficiency disrupts cell division and potentially contribute to microcephaly. "It's difficult to say exactly ...
University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development - including the ...
In the earliest hours after fertilization, an embryo takes its first steps toward becoming a living organism by shedding maternal control and activating its own genetic program. This critical process, ...
Magdalena (Magda) Zernicka-Goetz, today a developmental and stem cell biologist at the University of Cambridge and California Institute of Technology, recalled being an artistic child who enjoyed ...
