The potential benefits of organoids for fundamental research and medicine are huge. Efforts to establish proper boundaries ...

The next surprise was that human organoids just kept growing. Mouse organoids were done with making neurons within nine days.

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Groundbreaking research from Karolinska Institutet reveals that humans can grow new neurons well into old age, offering new hope ...

Researchers have mapped 30 million cells to create a definitive atlas of the human neocortex. This blueprint reveals how human brain development differs from other mammals and provides a roadmap for ...

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment and ...

Researchers have mapped how "histone bivalency" acts as a molecular clock for brain development. By holding genes in a poised state, this mechanism ensures neurons mature only after completing ...

As I enter deep middle age, parenting two teenagers, I find reading about brain development more interesting. The old-school view of becoming an adult at 18 (or 21) seems simple. The more recent ...

What previously required months or years of specialised lab work can now be done in hours or days thanks to its integrated ...

Scientists have found a way to stop brain cancer cells spreading by essentially 'freezing' a key molecule in the brain. The finding could pave the way for a new type of treatment for glioblastoma, the ...

Aging may "erase" the epigenetic markers that control gene expression in the brain, and this may snowball to cause unintended ...

Clinical trials show psilocybin provides rapid relief for depression, but the underlying biology remains unclear. New ...
