Epithelial fusion during neural tube morphogenesis [PDF]
Adhesion and fusion of epithelial sheets marks the completion of many morphogenetic events during embryogenesis. Neural tube closure involves an epithelial fusion sequence in which the apposing neural folds adhere initially via cellular protrusions ...

Fetal Pain Perception: Legislative Assertions and Developmental Neuroscience
ABSTRACT Background Pain perception is a conscious experience, but neither pain nor consciousness is defined in the developing human fetus. Emergent consciousness may be regarded as a phenomenon that ultimately arises from an essential minimum of functional neuronal connectivity. Proposed U.S.

Neural tube defects (NTDs), including spina bifida and anencephaly, are severe birth defects of the central nervous system that originate during embryonic development when the neural tube fails to close completely.

The evolutionarily conserved miR-302 family of microRNAs is expressed during early mammalian embryonic development. Here, we report that deletion of miR-302a-d in mice results in a fully penetrant late embryonic lethal phenotype. Knockout embryos have an

ABSTRACT Objective Myelomeningocele (MMC) is associated with significant alterations of the brain microstructure, which can impair long‐term neurodevelopmental outcomes. By measuring the random displacement of water molecules within the brain, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐based diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) can provide objective metrics, such as

Cell motility driving mediolateral intercalation in explants of Xenopus laevis [PDF]
In Xenopus, convergence and extension are produced by active intercalation of the deep mesodermal cells between one another along the mediolateral axis (mediolateral cell intercalation), to form a narrower, longer array.

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 ...

The epithelium of the dorsal marginal zone of Xenopus has organizer properties [PDF]
We have investigated the properties of the epithelial layer of the dorsal marginal zone (DMZ) of the Xenopus laevis early gastrula and found that it has inductive properties similar to those of the entire Spemann organizer.

Novel roles of the chemorepellent axon guidance molecule RGMa in cell migration and adhesion [PDF]
The repulsive guidance molecule A (RGMa) is a contact-mediated axon guidance molecule that has significant roles in central nervous system (CNS) development.

Neurulation is an important shape-transforming event during embryonic development where a flat neural plate is converted into a neural tube. Failure in this morphogenetic process accounts for one of the most common birth defects.
