Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital imaged cellular projections called cytonemes that transfer signals across long distances during development St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital ...

When a vertebrate embryo develops, a group of cells self-organizes into the neural tube, eventually becoming the brain and the spinal cord. This involves specific signals, but how these signals are ...

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 ...

Discover the first images of cytonemes during mammalian neural development, serving as express routes to establish morphogen gradients and tissue patterning. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital ...
