NIST researchers create a microfluidics technique to isolate and pattern neuronal cells on surfaces, allowing for the study of cell development and behavior. This breakthrough enables a variety of cell-geometry experiments, such as measuring the maximum gap between lines that can be bridged by neural axons and dendrites.
A scientist at the Marine Biological Laboratory has published a study showing that a combination of pollutants bromoform, chloroform, and tetrachloroethylene can alter nerve cell growth in clam embryos. The study found increased production of an enzyme involved in neural development, which may be linked to neurological disorders such a...
Researchers describe a process regulated by Hedgehog gene that induces formation of fast twitch muscles from slow twitch cells in zebrafish embryos. The findings provide insights into muscle development and potential models for muscular dystrophy.
