Researchers confirm using zebrafish that if a certain gene is not excluded when vertebrate embryos are developing, the notochord will not elongate properly, resulting in a shortened form. Can a single ...

Before the spinal cord, there is the notochord. Development of the notochord is essential for forming the nervous system and numerous other structures. In a new study from New York University, ...

LONDON — Scientists have achieved a major milestone in recreating human tissue development in the lab, successfully generating the notochord — a defining feature of vertebrates that acts like a ...

Can a single protein-encoding gene determine whether a vertebrate embryo develops normally? Yes, according to Osaka Metropolitan University researchers, who found that suppression of Pcdh8 is ...

Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute have generated human stem cell models 1 which, for the first time, contain notochord – a tissue in the developing embryo that acts like a navigation system, ...
