Scientists have grown a scalable new embryo-like model that unshrouds some mysteries of early human development, including blood cell formation, or hematopoiesis—a first for the field. In an article ...
A stretch of viral DNA in the mouse genome gives cells in early-stage embryos the potential to become almost any cell type in ...
Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...
Researchers at Dresden University of Technology reveal that early zebrafish embryos divide without a closed actin ring.
Research shows how the curved shape of a zebrafish egg sets cell division timing, gene activation, and early cell fate specification.
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 ...
Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...
A new discovery by researchers at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics (BDR) in Japan upends decades of assumptions regarding DNA replication. Led by Ichiro Hiratani and colleagues, the ...
Although embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have been successfully derived from mice and rats, efforts to establish chimeric and germline-competent ESC lines in species beyond rodents have been unsuccessful.
