Our skeleton is kind of strange. Most of it forms from the same tissue that makes things like our muscle and connective tissue. The exception is a big chunk of our face, like the jaws and nasal ...

Scientists discover subtle spinal enlargements in zebrafish, reshaping understanding of vertebrate nervous system evolution ...

Human brains (and the brains of other vertebrates) are able to process information faster because of myelin, a fatty substance that forms a protective sheath over the axons of our nerve cells and ...

In a new study, researchers used a new live-imaging technique to watch neurons being created in squid embryos almost in real-time. They were then able to track those cells through the development of ...
