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 at the University of ...

A new breakthrough for spine and nervous system formation was successfully achieved by researchers where they were able to develop human stem cell models that will soon help in addressing the problems ...

As a result, researchers are now looking at the physical and mechanical forces in tissues during embryo development. However, this can be challenging as the embryonic spinal cord is tiny - too small ...

Research from Ph.D. candidate Bohan Chen in the lab of Idse Heemskerk of the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology at the University of Michigan Medical School and their colleagues improves ...

Scientists have successfully created mechanical force sensors directly in the developing brains and spinal cords of chicken embryos, which they hope will improve understanding and prevention of birth ...
