Therefore, animal models are often used to understand the biological processes that govern embryo development before it implants in the uterus. In a new study, researchers at Karolinska Institutet ...

Embryonic stem cells are occupying the minds of most US senators. While it is most pleasing to see cell biology in the limelight, ES cells present the political elite in Washington with one of the ...

The findings help elucidate what happens during the earliest periods in development. “I was always interested in how cells decide their fate,” Zernicka-Goetz said. In the mouse developing embryo, she ...

They targeted regions of the genome known to be involved in the development of an early embryo. This allowed them to control which genes were activated, and induce the creation of the main types ...

Development is the process by which a fertilized egg, or embryo, generates the cells, tissues, and organs of a new individual and assembles them into their proper form. Evolution produces the body ...

Programmable cellular models of embryos, known as embryoids, allow scientists to mimic the first few day of embryonic development. The project team, left to right: Ali Shariati, Sayaka Kozuki, and ...
