Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...

The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.

Early brain development is a biological black box. While scientists have devised multiple ways to record electrical signals in adult brains, these techniques don’t work for embryos. A team at Harvard ...

Flexible electrodes were implanted into tadpole embryos when they were days old - Liu Lab/Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Cyborg tadpoles with electrodes grown into their brains ...

As an embryo grows, there is a continuous stream of communication between cells to form tissues and organs. Cells need to read numerous cues from their environment, and these may be chemical or ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...
