Scientists have developed human stem cell models containing the notochord, a critical tissue that guides spine and nervous system formation during embryonic development.
The heart may be much more than an organ simply ensuring blood circulation. A study has highlighted the presence of a complex neural network within it, functioning independently of the brain.
A team of researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst is the first to show how proteins called "chaperones" are vital in ensuring that neurons can transmit signals to one another. When ...
For the first time, the notochord a tissue in the developing embryo that serves as a navigation system, telling cells where to build the spine and nervous system (the trunk) has been included in human ...
