When a baby enters the world, their brain contains billions of neurons awaiting connection. The first 1,000 days of life, from conception to age two, represent a critical period where over 85% of ...

Drug development is a critical but notoriously resource- and time-consuming process. Traditional methods, such as high-throughput screening, rely on opportunistic ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have unraveled the processes that give astrocytes, the most abundant glial cell in the brain, their special bushy shape, which is fundamental for brain ...

Two new methods enable the study of the mechanics of tissue development. A difference of pressure between two adjacent epithelial cells can curve their cell–cell junction. And where cell–cell ...

The human brain, like the brain of other mammals, is known to start developing before birth, via a coordinated sequence of molecular and cellular processes. Neuroscience studies have found that the ...

Laser powder bed fusion, a 3D-printing technique, offers potential in the manufacturing industry, particularly when fabricating nickel-titanium shape memory alloys with complex geometries. Although ...
