Neural networks in the brain form by an axon extending from one neuron to interact with another. Chemical cues in the neuron microenvironment are responsible for activating the extending axon, but which molecular factors are responsible for interpreting this chemical information into a mechanical force for the axon to reach its destination has been unclear. […]

This could enable synthetic embryos in the lab which can grow into humans, improved IVF treatment, the creation of ‘organoid’ models of human organs for replacement and research to […]
