Scientists found that evolution led bird and mammal brains to evolve separately, using different genetic instructions.

Two studies published in the latest issue of Science have revealed that birds, reptiles, and mammals have developed complex ...

Over the course of 40 days, the cells within the organoid self-organized into structures that resembled the early stages of brain and spinal cord development in a human embryo. This included the ...

The brains of birds and mammals have diverged substantially during the course of evolution. A research team at the Center for Molecular Biology of Heidelberg University has investigated how similar ...

12 This combination better modeled the embryonic development and cell biology of the early embryo ... Experts from the Women’s Brain Foundation and bit.bio will explore the importance of sex-specific ...

Lissencephaly is a devastating genetic disease of children that affects the embryonic development of the brain. It is caused by haploinsufficiency of the Lis1 gene product, which seems to be ...

Scientists found that fruit fly embryos can develop through multiple genetic paths, not just one. This challenges traditional ideas.

The development of an animal embryo, from a small cluster of cells to a multicellular organism, might also have been optimized and fine-tuned to an almost perfect system. However, a precise ...

Once dismissed as the 'dark side' of the genome, researchers have now revealed their crucial role in early embryo development. Over half of our genomes consists of thousands of remnants of ancient ...
