Thanks to a mouse watching clips from "The Matrix," scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date—a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 neurons as they fire off messages.

Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a ...

Researchers from Nanjing Medical University have developed a novel method to generate transient totipotent blastomere-like stem cells (tTBLCs) by treating mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) with a ...

This study provides valuable findings on the role of site-specific DNA methylation changes during spermatogenesis and their contribution to paternal epigenetic inheritance. The study proposes that ...

Organoids are made to model human organs and are promising for research and therapy, but there are limitations in their growth and function. A recent study found that placenta-derived IL1 under ...

A key protein network that keeps cells safe from the dangerous effects of transposable elements has been uncovered.

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a method that shows how the nervous system and sensory organs are formed in an embryo.

Researchers have developed a method that shows how the nervous system and sensory organs are formed in an embryo. By labeling stem cells with a genetic 'barcode', they have been able to follow the ...
