Their findings, recently reported in the journal Nature, overturn longstanding assumptions in developmental biology and could ...

The establishment and maintenance of neuronal identity are critically dependent on a finely tuned interplay between transcription factors and the epigenetic landscape. Central to this network is the ...

New study by Chiba University, Japan in collaboration with Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, uncovers novel enhancer-promoter interactions that regulate gene expression during neuronal differentiation ...

A study by IRB Barcelona unveils how the lack of a fraction of the CPEB4 protein causes a decrease in the expression of genes that are crucial for neuronal development. Published in the journal Nature ...

When do peripheral nerves develop? Researchers used "mosaic barcodes" to prove that neural crest cells commit to their ...

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 ...

The field of neuroplasticity is increasingly exploring the non-neuronal components that shape synaptic, cellular, and circuit-level adaptation in the brain.

Human-accelerated regions (HARs) are sections of the human genome that have accumulated an unusually high level of mutations as humans split away from chimpanzees. Given their rapid evolution, some ...

How do neurons transport proteins? A new study reveals that Kinesin-2 motor subtypes regulate cargo specificity.

Intracellular transport is a vital process that allows cells to move proteins and other molecules to specific locations.

A new study unveils how the lack of a fraction of the CPEB4 protein causes a decrease in the expression of genes that are crucial for neuronal development. A study by IRB Barcelona unveils how the ...
