Multicellularity is one of the most profound phenomena in biology, and relies on the ability of a single cell to reorganize ...

Neural crest cells are a population of stem cells that invade the embryo in early development. They play a big role in what ...

Week 3 of pregnancy is a critical stage when the embryo begins to grow rapidly. During this week, cells divide at an astonishing rate, laying the foundation for all future tissues and organs. This ...

Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) and Imperial College London have shown for the first time that, before they can start developing into egg and sperm cells, the embryonic ...

A recent Nature study evaluates post-implantation development in humans using embryo-like models based on genetically unmodified human naïve embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Study: Complete human day 14 ...

Rowan University biology professor Natasha Shylo is exploring left-right asymmetry development with a grant from the National Institutes of Health.

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 ...

LimbLab is an open-source tool that can help developmental biology researchers visualise and analyse 3D data for developmental processes. LimbLab is a specialised pipeline that can organise messy 3D ...

Researchers at the University of Connecticut have reported a novel bovine embryonic stem cell line with improved pluripotency ...
