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 ...

A new study shows oxygenation levels in the placenta, formed during the last three months of fetal development, are an important predictor of cortical growth (development of the outermost layer of the ...

Brain tissue has been made from embryonic stem cells for the first time, providing hope for future treatments for diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Stem cells taken from human embryos were used to form ...

Researchers 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. The development could help researchers ...

UNC School of Medicine scientists led by Gang Li, PhD, have mapped the surface of the cortex of the young human brain with unprecedented resolution, revealing the development of key functional regions ...

Transplanted neurons integrate into adult brain networks. Embryonic neurons (red) transplanted into the adult mouse brain connect with host neurons (black), rebuilding neural circuits previously lost ...

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have created synthetic model embryos with brains, beating hearts, with the potential to grow other organs from mouse stem cells. The research is touted as ...

Autism could begin in the womb, new research shows. U.S. scientists say they have new evidence to suggest that the developmental disability begins in early pregnancy. Their findings indicate that the ...
