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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

The effects of neurotoxicant cadmium (Cd) exposure on brain development have not been well elucidated. To investigate this, we have herein subjected pregnant mice to low-dose Cd throughout gestation.

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 ...

In the earliest hours after fertilization, an embryo takes its first steps toward becoming a living organism by shedding maternal control and activating its own genetic program. This critical process, ...

Brain organoids, three-dimensional models of the brain, are a boon to neuroscience, making it possible to study the development, evolution and disease of the brain in a model that is based on human ...
