Explore the connection between neurodegeneration and cellular senescence in understanding brain structure and ageing.

The study used large-scale CRISPR gene-editing technology to systematically determine which genes are required as embryonic ...

Brain organoids are self-assembled three-dimensional cellular aggregates with cell types and tissue architectures that resemble the embryonic human brain. As they recapitulate many key features of ...

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In a new study published today in Nature Neuroscience, researchers led by ...

Scientists have found that blocking microglia (specialist immune cells in the brain) prevents infant forgetting ("infantile ...

Explore how stressors during pregnancy influence foetal brain development and the impact on future neurodevelopmental ...

An international research team identified hundreds of genes essential for the development of brain cells, including one gene linked to a severe neurodevelopmental disorder not previously described.

Babies of every species from mouse to human rapidly forget things that happen to them—an effect called infantile amnesia. A ...
