Repair of open neural tube defects, including myelomeningocele, in the fetus has been shown to improve postnatal outcomes by decreasing the severity of hydrocephalus and, consequentially, reducing the ...
Anencephaly occurs when an infant is born without parts of their brain and skull. It is a severe congenital anomaly, which means that a baby develops anencephaly in the womb. Anencephaly is a ...
Precursor cells in the embryonic neural tube are organized in a specific striped pattern which depends on the signals they receive (left). Lehr and colleagues recreated this pattern in a cell culture ...
Bionano Genomics and Greenwood Genetic Center have announced a study published in Genome Research, marking the first use of optical genome mapping (OGM) to explore the genetic factors behind neural ...
Spina bifida is a serious congenital condition caused by abnormal neural tube development during early pregnancy. While folic acid supplementation has dramatically reduced its incidence, cases persist ...
Babies who were exposed to certain organic pollutants in the womb are at a highly increased risk of neural tube defects leading to conditions such as spina bifida, according to researchers in China.
A group of scientists at UCL have successfully created mechanical force sensors directly in the developing brains and spinal cords of chicken embryos, which they hope will improve understanding and ...
