Researchers use these spatially organized colonies to study gene expression and the role of cell density in embryo development. (4) Post-Implantation Embryo Models: Scientists differentiated PSCs ...

“I was always interested in how cells decide their fate,” Zernicka-Goetz said. In the mouse developing embryo, she previously demonstrated a bias at the two-cell stage: one cell contributed more to ...

Most animals, including humans, have bilateral symmetry, which means our bodies are pretty symmetrical. At least on the ...

Emerging findings suggest that viral DNA may play an important part in how embryos form, right after fertilization.

DNA from ancient viruses that form a part of the human genome may be contributing in the early development of an embryo in ...

Many big advances, like the discovery of human embryonic and tissue stem cells, have been made only during the past 25 years. Thanks to stem cell research, today we understand the earliest stages of ...

They created a single-embryo atlas by comparing embryos ... we gain crucial insights into the mechanisms of cellular plasticity. This study sets the stage for future research into specific ...

The human body is a key subject of research by scientists worldwide. A biomedical engineering research team led by Professor ...

Amos Tanay of the computer science and applied mathematics and the molecular cell biology departments – uncovers new ...

This study provides a valuable new resource to investigate the molecular basis of the particular features characterizing the pipefish embryo. The authors found both unique and shared gene expression ...
