Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on Earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

Descriptions of the embryo go back at least to the time of Aristotle, but it has only been since the late 19 th century and early 20 th century that advances in experimental approaches allowed ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

Researchers at Dresden University of Technology reveal that early zebrafish embryos divide without a closed actin ring.

Scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), used CRISPR to engineer cellular models of embryos that mimic what happens in the first few days after reproductive cells meet. These ...

The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.

Researchers 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 weeks after fertilization. This is ...

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 ...

Scientists create a ‘mini-womb’ 3D model on a microfluidic chip which could lead to treatments for women affected by ...
