We have identified the gene that, when activated, initiates the developmental programme that results in cells forming a human ...

Chinese scientists have successfully developed an embryonic disc-like gastrulation model known as Disc-Gastruloid, unlocking ...

Embryonic development, also known as embryogenesis, is a cornerstone in understanding the origins of life. But studying this marvel of intricate and layered biological processes in people faces ...

A new discovery by researchers challenges our current understanding of gastrulation, the most important stage of early embryonic development. When the zygote, or the fertilised egg, starts to develop, ...

A study published today in the journal Developmental Cell uncovers new insights into how the heart forms during the earliest stages of embryonic development. The research, led by scientists at the ...

Current single-cell atlases of mouse embryos are limited in temporal resolution and cellular or sequencing depth coverage. Here we report the mouse developmental Cell and Lineage Atlas (mdCLA), which ...

A discovery upends decades of assumptions regarding DNA replication. The study show that DNA replication in early embryos is different from what past research has taught, and includes a period of ...

Intracellular ice formation during cryopreservation is lethal to the cell, including during warming. Here, we examined the effect of sample volume and warming rate on the cryopreservation success of 1 ...
