Neurulation is a well-known morphogenetic event of embryonic development that has important clinical consequences. The failure of neural tube closure leads to a group of common and severe ...

Neurulation is the process in which the neural plate, a flat structure of ectodermal tissue in the vertebrate embryo, folds to form the neural tube, a hollow tube that gives rise to the brain and ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have conducted a detailed study of neurulation—how the neural tube forms during embryonic development. They conclude that this happens less actively than previously thought.

The first stem cell culture method that produces a full model of the early stages of the human central nervous system has been developed by a team of engineers and biologists at the University of ...
