A new study provides the first detailed description of development in the sea star Asterias forbesi and shows that the ...

A new lineage-tracing study in the annelid Tubifex tubifex shows that each small micromere of the early embryo follows a ...

A new study traced the forebrain and hindbrain to separate evolutionary lineages, then researchers used that discovery to ...

How can the identity of pluripotent stem cells be determined more reliably during their differentiation? Researchers from the ...

As an embryo develops from a small cluster of stem cells, those once "blank slate" cells begin to take on more specialized ...

Three years ago, George Kassiotis and his team made an unexpected discovery: A specific way of producing a protein called calbindin was found to help cancer cells survive by preventing them from aging ...

A recent study may reshape our understanding of brain evolution and open new avenues for studying neurological diseases.

The Carta algorithm infers a differentiation map — including progenitor cell types and transitions between progenitor and terminal cell types — from high-throughput lineage tracing data. Applying ...

A molecular recorder traces 1.28 million cells in one mouse embryo, revealing developmental patterns while covering about 10% of its cells.

A study in laboratory mice identified two distinct cell populations that form different parts of the nervous system, ...

Morphogenesis is the process by which an organism, tissue or organ develops its shape. Morphogenesis is driven by various cellular and developmental processes including cell proliferation, ...

It is widely accepted in neuroscience and medicine that the human brain is a single organ. However, recent research led by Stanford Medicine displays results that are contrary to this long-held ...
