A developing mouse neural tube. Hedgehog signalling is required to produce different types of neuronal progenitor cells, indicated by the different colours. THC inhibits Hedgehog signalling in ...

About 300,000 to 400,000 fetuses per year from mothers with diabetes develop neural tube defects -- when the tissue that eventually forms the brain and spinal cord fails to form properly -- which can ...

From the moment an embryo starts to take shape, two-way communication is critical for making sure tissues and organs develop correctly.

Researchers have paired a deep learning model with experimental data to 'decode' mouse neural activity. Using the method, they can accurately determine where a mouse is located within an open ...
