A genome-wide CRISPR study maps 331 genes essential for early brain development, identifying PEDS1 as a new ...

A sweeping genetic screen reveals how the brain is built and exposes a hidden gene behind a newly discovered childhood brain ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In ...

Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...

By editing thousands of genes in mouse stem cells, the scientists identified a list of over 300 that are crucial for neural differentiation.

The study used large-scale CRISPR gene-editing technology to systematically determine which genes are required as embryonic ...

Every year, millions of lives are suddenly, swiftly transformed by a stroke, which occurs when a blood vessel travelling ...

A new study in the lab of Jason Stein, Ph.D., modeled brain development in a dish to identify cells and genes that influence ...

Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self.

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 ...
