UCLA researchers created a single-cell map of the developing human neocortex in Down syndrome during a critical window of ...

Scientists mapped human brain development in Down syndrome at a cellular level, discovering that stem cells "rush" to become ...

An international research team has provided an unprecedented look at how gene regulation evolves during human brain development, showing how the 3D structure of chromatin—DNA and proteins—plays a ...

Like the seeds of a forest, a few cells in embryos eventually sprout into an ecosystem of brain cells. Neurons get the most recognition for their computing power. But a host of other cells provides ...

Researchers at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) have uncovered a surprising link between low brain sugar levels and the development of myelin - the ...

New research reveals that high glucose levels drive stem cells to multiply, while low levels signal them to mature into ...

A cellular-resolution map of prenatal brain development in Down syndrome reveals disrupted neuron production timing and altered cell types.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny bubbles released by cells, acting as cargo vessels through which cells exchange signals and thus communicate. A paper has demonstrated that this form of cellular ...

For decades, scientists assumed that neural stem cells (NSCs) only occur in the brain and spinal cord. A new international study, led by Hans Schöler of the Max Planck Institute for Molecular ...

Scientists at UCLA have created one of the first cellular-resolution molecular maps detailing how Down syndrome alters human brain development before birth—a resource that resolves longstanding ...
