Successful embryonic development depends on a series of patterning and symmetry breaking events. Spontaneous self-organization can occur, especially during early development or in simple structures, ...

Biologists have used human pluripotent stem cells to grow sesame-seed-sized heart models, called cardioids, that spontaneously self-organize to develop a hollow chamber without the need of ...

Researchers have investigated how highly organized patterns of neural activity emerge during development. Published in Nature Communications, an international collaboration between researchers at the ...
