The enteric nervous system (ENS) is a sophisticated, autonomous network of neurons and glia embedded within the gastrointestinal tract, critical for regulating motility, secretion, and blood flow. The ...

Neural organoids have been heralded as having huge potential for advancing our knowledge of the brain in several fields.

The Wistar Institute's Alessandro Gardini, Ph.D., and lab have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular "bridge" ...

A new study demonstrated that introducing neurons into Xenopus-derived biobots led to the self-organization of active neural ...

A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs known as assembloids, which are derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a method that shows how the nervous system and sensory organs are formed in an embryo. By labeling stem cells with a genetic 'barcode', they have been able to follow the ...

The profound impact of neurological injuries and diseases, such as stroke, spinal cord injury, and neurodegenerative disorders, often manifests as ...

“Neurobots” wire self-organizing circuits, pointing the way to programmable biological machines ...

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 ...
