A new study maps how prenatal stress alters immune signalling in the developing brain at a level of detail not seen before ...

The maternal microbiome and immune system have both independent and synergistic effects on fetal brain health—changes in the mother's immune system have been linked to an increased risk of ...

Disrupting maternal gut-immune axis perturbed immune networks in developing mouse brains, revealing potential mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental disorders.

Explore how stressors during pregnancy influence foetal brain development and the impact on future neurodevelopmental ...

Research at Karlstad University shows that exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals and adverse life events during ...

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In a new study published today in Nature Neuroscience, researchers led by ...

By editing thousands of genes in mouse stem cells, the scientists identified a list of over 300 that are crucial for neural differentiation.

Neurons grown from stem cells in the lab form an interconnected network. In this study, researchers used CRISPR to switch off genes in stem cells and then followed how successfully the cells developed ...

The study used large-scale CRISPR gene-editing technology to systematically determine which genes are required as embryonic ...
