A cellular-resolution map of prenatal brain development in Down syndrome reveals disrupted neuron production timing and altered cell types.

A stylized representation of different stages of prenatal development in mice. Researchers at The Jackson Laboratory provided a critical level of precision necessary for the accurate computational ...

Researchers have characterized, in exacting detail, the rapid series of events that transform a single fertilized cell into a living, complex being. The work not only has enabled the team to explore ...

Advances in modern medicine allow us to treat fetuses and newborn babies for genetic or inherited diseases. Advances in modern medicine allow us to treat fetuses and newborn babies for genetic or ...

Scientists at UCLA have created one of the first cellular-resolution molecular maps detailing how Down syndrome alters human brain development before birth—a resource that resolves longstanding ...

Fetal development is a critical stage with effects that can last throughout life. Yet, identifying the effects of maternal psychological stress on the fetus has been difficult, mainly because ...

Researchers have found that even low to moderate alcohol use by pregnant patients may contribute to subtle changes in their babies' prenatal development, including lower birth length and a shorter ...
