Researchers at Duke-NUS Medical School have developed a detailed single-cell atlas of the developing human brain, offering a new reference point for evaluating lab-grown neurons used in Parkinson’s ...

Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and their collaborators have created one of the most comprehensive single cell maps of the developing human brain. The atlas captures nearly every cell type, ...

The brain is the most complicated organ in the human body. With billions of cells that create trillions of connections to allow an individual to move, think, and remember, many of its innerworkings ...

Just a few weeks after conception, stem cells are already orchestrating the future structure of the human brain. A new Yale-led study shows that, early in development, molecular “traffic cops” known ...

The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are ...

WASHINGTON, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Scientists have reached a milestone in an ambitious initiative to chart how the many types of brain cells emerge and mature from the earliest embryonic and fetal stages ...

The brain vasculature is important for the developing and mature human brain, and it plays crucial parts in several brain pathologies. Single-cell RNA sequencing enabled the construction of a ...

Researchers uncovered 214,516 unique isoforms in the developing neocortex -- over 70% of which have not been previously studied. A team led by researchers at UCLA and the University of Pennsylvania ...
