The process of a single-celled zygote developing into a complex multicellular organism is precisely regulated at spatial and temporal levels in vivo. However, understanding the mechanisms underlying ...

An international team of experts in embryology and bioethics has published the first white paper on the use of embryonic ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...

Using CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into embryo-like structures, scientists were able to create 'programmable' cellular models of embryos without ever experimenting ...

Scientists in the Brivanlou lab used light-inducible gene expression (yellow circle) and embryo models to demonstrate that, at the start of gastrulation, body-axis formation requires an interplay ...

In primates, abnormalities during gastrulation and early organogenesis lead to a high incidence of early abortion and developmental defects at birth 8. Thus, elucidating the cellular and molecular ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University have achieved a notable advancement in stem cell biology by reproducing the developmental process of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in vitro. This culture system ...

LONDON (Reuters) - A decision by one of the biggest names in stem cell research to throw in the towel will not stop other pioneering work that could yet produce cures for blindness and help mend ...
