Between the ages of three and four, children undergo a major leap in their ability to use grammar, and recent research ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital found that, in neural development, the same set of proteins involved in cellular self-renewal can also facilitate differentiation with the right ...

Their findings, recently reported in the journal Nature, overturn longstanding assumptions in developmental biology and could ...

Scientists have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular 'bridge' complex demonstrate a new level of detail in the ...

Researchers from the lab of Richard Simerly have uncovered the first example of activity-dependent development of hypothalamic neural circuitry. The work also suggests a novel role for the hunger ...

When do peripheral nerves develop? Researchers used "mosaic barcodes" to prove that neural crest cells commit to their ...
