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 ...

Scientists captured first real-time 3D video of human embryo implantation, revealing mechanical forces behind successful ...

Researchers have used naïve pluripotent stem cells to create an embryo model that looks and acts like a natural human embryo. They say it’s an ethical way of gaining a better understanding of ...

Then researchers placed blastoids and embryos donated after infertility treatments inside the little device and watched it ...

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 production ...

It's one of life's most defining moments - that crucial step in embryonic development, when an indistinct ball of cells rearranges itself into the orderly three-layered structure that sets the stage ...

When someone says the word embryo, what do you think of? Probably that picture you’ve seen a thousand times on a thousand different news articles: a translucent orb swelling with cytoplasm being ...

Formation of the energy-producing machinery in the proximal tubule of the nephron is an essential step in differentiation. The authors show that mitochondrial localization depends on LRRK2, the ...

The onset of embryo-specific gene transcription, also known as embryonic genome activation (EGA), is a crucial step in the developmental journey of an organism. Although EGA has been studied to some ...

In a new study, researchers compare the transcriptomic profiles of recently reported human embryo stage 8-cell-like cells with human embryos The onset of embryo-specific gene transcription, also known ...
