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 human brain, like the brain of other mammals, is known to start developing before birth, via a coordinated sequence of molecular and cellular processes. Neuroscience studies have found that the ...

Non-nutritive sweeteners are widely used in multiple diets and are considered a healthy alternative for pregnant women reducing sugar consumption, thereby preventing maternal obesity and gestational ...

A signaling pathway best known for shaping the brain before birth also helps govern how adults learn, adapt, and persist in their behavior, according to new research co-led by Andreas H. Kottmann, ...

Senescent "zombie" cells are essential architects required to build and maintain the brain's protective barriers.

Among the body's most crucial protective features are the brain barrier systems, including the blood-brain and blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barriers. These barriers are made of highly specialized ...

ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico, USA, 19 May 2026 — A peer-reviewed invited review published today in Genomic Psychiatry argues that the adult brain, when it learns and remembers and rewires, is not inventing ...

The choroid plexus (ChP) regulates cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) composition, providing essential molecular cues for brain development; yet, embryonic ChP secretory mechanisms remain poorly defined. Here ...

A new study from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology has uncovered how the MN1 gene evolved to shape both the brain and skull during embryogenesis—a link with profound implications for ...

Using CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into embryo-like structures, scientists were able to create 'programmable' cellular models of embryos without ever experimenting ...
