Lab-grown structures with the potential to develop into fetuses should be defined — and regulated — as embryos, some researchers say. It is time for a redefinition of the human embryo, a team of ...

Netrin1 is a protein that was first characterized for its axon guidance activities during embryonic development. The netrin family has been shown to play many critical roles in developmental and ...

Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and Children's National Hospital in Washington D.C. are uncovering ...

Researchers have uncovered a surprising new role for netrin1, a crucial protein in neural development, as a regulator that limits bone morphogenetic protein signaling in the developing spinal cord.

Scientists at the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA have uncovered an unexpected role for the molecule netrin1 in organizing the developing spinal ...

The network connection between nerve cells in the spinal cord seems to play a critical role in the development of the severe disease ALS, a new study suggests. The study, which is based on a mouse ...
