An international research team led by Karolinska Institutet has mapped the early genetic development of the brain and can now ...

Shariati is an expert in stem cell engineering, a field that uses stem cells—unspecialized cells that can form any type of cell such as gut or brain ... the development of an early embryo.

they model embryonic development’s pre-implantation period, up to seven days post fertilization. While stem cell-based embryo models greatly extend the ability to study this period of development, ...

Lissencephaly is a devastating genetic disease of children that affects the embryonic development of the brain. It is caused by haploinsufficiency of the Lis1 gene product, which seems to be ...

Therefore, animal models are often used to understand the biological processes that govern embryo development before it implants in the uterus. In a new study, researchers at Karolinska Institutet ...
