Researchers have developed a new embryo-like model derived from adult cells that replicates key features of early human development, including the generation of blood cells. University of Pittsburgh ...

The curved shape of a zebrafish egg causes unequal cell divisions, creating larger cells near the animal pole and smaller ...

Despite being an essential developmental process, the understanding of human embryonic genome activation is limited, owing to the lack of in vitro cell models and ethical concerns. To advance ...

Under the microscope, MSK scientists studied how cells in a mouse embryo (green) move out and break away from their original tissue by contracting their surfaces (red). Studying this process, known as ...

Long before human bone marrow takes over the task of producing blood, discrete waves of blood cell production occur in the developing embryo. Miriana Dardano, a postdoctoral researcher in Zweigerdt’s ...

When you seek the help of a fertility specialist to conceive, your first step is to undergo diagnostic tests to understand your likelihood of success. This is followed by a comprehensive consultation ...

The role of Fibroblast Growth Factor 8 (FGF8) in embryonic development and organ formation is gaining increased recognition as scientists uncover its wide-ranging influence. FGF8, a powerful signaling ...

Using a new approach for studying live embryonic mouse brains at single-cell resolution, researchers headed by a team at the Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel (IOB) have ...

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In ...
