The Wistar Institute's Alessandro Gardini, Ph.D., and lab have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular "bridge" ...

The neural identity genes in chick responded to the BMP gradient just as their counterparts responded in fruit flies. "Our findings suggest that BMPs may once have been sufficient to organize the ...

In the Drosophila embryo, neural prepatterning has been studied mostly in the developing ventral cord. A gradient of the transcription factor Dorsal (Dl) determines the position and extent of the ...

Dr. Tam Nguyen receives funding from National Science Foundation. He works for University of Dayton. There are many applications of neural networks. One common example is your smartphone camera’s ...

Our skeleton is kind of strange. Most of it forms from the same tissue that makes things like our muscle and connective tissue. The exception is a big chunk of our face, like the jaws and nasal ...
