A "synthetic" embryo with a brain and beating heart has been created by British scientists. It features the foundations of all the body's organs, including neural and gut tubes that protect the ...

A new study maps how prenatal stress alters immune signalling in the developing brain at a level of detail not seen before ...

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 ...

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have created model embryos from mouse stem cells that form a brain, a beating heart, and the foundations of all the other organs of the body – a new avenue ...

Neurodevelopment involves the brain's formation of systems responsible for learning, memory, social skills, and overall function. Critical neurodevelopmental processes such as neurogenesis, synaptic ...

Research led by the SickKids Research Institute in Toronto and the University of Pennsylvania, has found that immune-related ...

What do the earliest stages of a pregnancy look like? Embryonic development has been extensively studied, but most of our knowledge of the earliest stages of a growing baby come from stationary ...

Scientists have created the miracle of life — no male or female necessary. Using only a mixture of stem cells, University of Cambridge researchers were able to generate a live, “synthetic” mouse ...

After more than a decade of research, University of Cambridge scientists have created “embryos from mouse stem cells that form a brain, a beating heart, and the foundations of all the other organs of ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Our previous studies with estrogen receptor β knockout ($ER\beta^{-/-}$) mice demonstrated that ERβ is ...

Do synthetic mice dream of electric sheep? We’re on the way to finding out thanks to a breakthrough in stem cell research. It’s not going to overthrow mankind from a lab anytime soon, but a stell cell ...

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have harnessed mouse stem cells to create model “synthetic” embryos that comprise a brain, a beating heart, and the foundations of all the other organs of ...
