Scientists have built tiny living robots from frog embryo cells that spontaneously grow their own functional nervous systems, ...

Developmental biologists at Tufts University in Massachusetts have produced what they call “neurobots”, small clumps of cells that can swim through water and are made from a combination of embryonic ...

A key protein expressed in epithelial “skin” cells plays a critical role in protecting the structure and function of cells in the nervous system of a model nematode, a type of worm, according to new ...

Two Northeastern University researchers want to make life better for people who've experienced serious physical trauma, the ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet 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 ...

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers demonstrate that functional nervous systems can form within self-organized living ...

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. The first stem cell ...

Researchers propose that placozoans, one of the simplest kinds of animals, may contain the blueprint for the neurons of more complex creatures. By Sam Jones For hundreds of millions of years, ...

Salk researchers report they have discovered a protein called Mitf that mediates the repair function in the peripheral nervous systems of mice. The protein Mitf helps turn on the repair function of ...
