Researchers have identified endogenous electric fields in developing embryos that guide the migration of neural crest cells, ...

How cells utilize electric fields to guide their migration during embryonic development. As an embryo develops, cells ...

As an embryo grows, there is a continuous stream of communication between cells to form tissues and organs. Cells need to read numerous cues from their environment, and these may be chemical or ...

Researchers found that electric fields inside embryos guide migrating cells. The enzyme Vsp1 helps cells sense and respond to ...

Building and shaping an embryo requires the concerted effort of numerous signals and molecular interactions during development. One essential aspect of this process is collective cell migration, where ...

Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) of the proximal thoracic aorta are derived from second heart field (SHF) and cardiac neural crest lineages. Recent studies, both in vitro and in vivo, have implied relevance ...

Nov. 1, 2024 — A team led by researchers has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of reprogrammed ...

Jan. 15, 2025 — While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research ...

Neural decoding is the study of what information is available in the electrical activity (action potentials) of individual cells or networks of neurons. Studies of neural decoding aim to identify ...
