The architecture of the body is not encoded as a formal blueprint; rather, it's the tightly orchestrated activation and ...

A stretch of viral DNA in the mouse genome gives cells in early-stage embryos the potential to become almost any cell type in the body.

A research team led by Associate Professor Hirofumi Nishizono and graduate student Masaki Kato from the Research Support ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development - including the ...

Embryo development starts when a single egg cell is fertilized and starts dividing continuously. Initially a chaotic cluster, it gradually evolves into a highly organized structure. Scientists have ...

Integrated screening and CRISPR reveal eleven previously unknown factors essential for early embryo development. They showed ...

In A Nutshell Egg geometry drives development: The curved shape of a zebrafish egg causes unequal cell divisions, creating larger cells near the animal pole and smaller cells at the margin—a size ...

Researchers have identified Nr1h2, a critical transcription factor essential for early embryo development. Their findings enhance our understanding of gene regulation during blastoid formation and ...

Scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), used CRISPR to engineer cellular models of embryos that mimic what happens in the first few days after reproductive cells meet. These ...

Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...
