By examining genetic clues that linger in adult cells, scientists have now gained surprising insights into the developmental ...

For the first time, a stem cell model has produced a structure resembling an early human embryo with a yolk-sac-like structure, from a single starting stem cell population and without direct genetic ...

Researchers have discovered a potential 'pause button' in the earliest stages of human development. Whether humans can control the timing of their development has long been debated. The new study ...

A dendrite – an extension of a neuron - from a 12-month-old human cerebral cortex neuron, grown from human stem cells and transplanted into a mouse cerebral cortex. Two human-specific genes, SRGAP2B ...

Our communities thrive because of the dedicated, passionate leaders who work with local organizations, aging adults and families. You could be one of them! UW’s human development and family sciences ...

A new developmental theory from an Iowa State researcher describes how our memory and perception of trauma can evolve over time, shifting with new experiences and as cognitive and emotional ...
