In conjunction with University Medical Center Mainz, researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have identified a mechanism that protects the female brain from genetic ...

Explore the connection between neurodegeneration and cellular senescence in understanding brain structure and ageing.

Gabby Voit at UWM studies zebrafish embryonic development to gain insights into human brain development and genetic mutations related to fertility issues. Her research could help understand ...

The young embryo may survive this exposure, but brain development may be altered to varying degrees. The study published today reveals for the first time that the harmful effects of alcohol on fetal ...

Scientists have found that blocking microglia (specialist immune cells in the brain) prevents infant forgetting ("infantile ...

In the earliest hours after fertilization, an embryo takes its first steps toward becoming a living organism by shedding maternal control and activating its own genetic program. This critical process, ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in which aging cells change ...

During brain development, neurons extend long processes called axons. Axons link different areas of the brain and carry ...
