Scientists at UNIGE Faculty of Medicine show how genetic switches activate then deactivate the genes responsible for embryonic development. Their findings, published in Nature Communications, decipher ...
A stretch of viral DNA in the mouse genome gives cells in early-stage embryos the potential to become almost any cell type in ...
Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...
Molecular mechanism uncovered in mice by UC Santa Cruz researchers reveals how a father’s diet, stress, and other ...
Researchers have gained new insights into the mechanism behind the spatial organization of DNA within the cells of early embryos. When an embryo is first formed after fertilization, each cell has the ...
The curved shape of a zebrafish egg causes unequal cell divisions, creating larger cells near the animal pole and smaller ...
Cell division is an essential process for all life on Earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...
Researchers have created a replica of womb lining or endometrium which allowed them to study the implantation of human embryos — process that signals start of a pregnancy. Described in a paper in the ...
