Melbourne researchers have uncovered a critical signaling pathway that controls the timing of brain development, shedding new light on how neurodevelopmental disorders may develop. The research, led ...

A human-specific gene influences brain immune cell development. These cells, called microglia, mature much slower than in mice. This extended maturation period may help build complex neural ...

Tiny human brain organoids survived for years outside the body, continued to mature, and even skipped ahead through stages of ...

Researchers kept human brain organoids developing for over five years, revealing prolonged maturation that mirrors human ...

When researchers at Lund University investigated how UM171, a molecule used to make blood stem cells multiply, works, they ...

The human brain is often described as one of the most complex structures in biology, and much of its power comes from how ...

For children growing up with YouTube, TikTok and Instagram at their fingertips, the question for parents is no longer simply, "How much screen time is too much?" We spoke to Dr Loh Wai Loong, ...

Models of how the brain changes over time could help researchers to understand how diseases affect the organ later in life.

Scientists have kept human brain organoids alive and maturing in the laboratory for more than five years, some even reaching ...

This intimate picture of how autism mutations work offers scientists new ideas for how to undo their effects. A drug might ...

An international team of researchers has maintained brain organoids, three-dimensional models of human brain tissue, for longer than ever before.

Yale School of Medicine (YSM) has been awarded a grant of nearly $25 million by the Aligning Research to Impact Autism (ARIA) initiative. The award, which is part of ARIA's Human Developmental ...
