Hundreds of genes have been linked to autism, yet the precise molecular and cellular mechanisms behind it remain largely ...

A team of researchers from the University of Aberdeen has uncovered, for the first time, how genes linked to autism and intellectual disability may influence early brain development. Their work helps ...

A Yale research team has created a new computer tool that can pinpoint when exactly genes turn on and off over time during brain development — a finding that may one day help doctors identify the ...

Craniofacial development is a complex process that involves the specification of diverse and transient cell types. However, our understanding of these processes and the cell-types present during human ...
