Molecular and morphogenetic features of neurulation
Neurulation occurs by two different mechanisms, called primary and secondary neurulation. In humans, primary neurulation occurs along most of the rostrocaudal axis of the embryo, while secondary neurulation occurs caudally, only in the lower sacral and ...

A Human Neural Tube Model Using 4D Self‐Folding Smart Scaffolds
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) exhibit features comparable to the inner cell mass of the human embryo. iPSCs are applied to a novel self‐folding 4D‐Neural Tube (4D‐NT) structure that mimics the neurulation process. This 4D‐NT model recapitulates early events of human neural development and represents a platform to explore neurodevelopmental ...
