In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment, and ...

Proper embryonic development of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is governed by patterns of protein activity bequeathed to the fertilized egg by its mother. While the embryo is still a single ...

The interplay between the nervous and stomatognathic systems, both anatomically proximate and functionally intertwined, holds profound implications for health. Advances in brain science reveal ...

Patterns that guide the development of feathers and other features can be set by mechanical forces in the embryo, not just by gradients of chemicals. One of the longest-standing questions in biology ...

Mechanisms of heart-valve disease often mimic processes observed in embryonic and early childhood development, including activation of valvular interstitial cell (VIC) phenotypes and remodeling of ...
