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

By editing thousands of genes in mouse stem cells, the scientists identified a list of over 300 that are crucial for neural differentiation.

An international research team identified hundreds of genes essential for the development of brain cells, including one gene ...

From the moment an embryo starts to take shape, two-way communication is critical for making sure tissues and organs develop correctly.

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.

For several years, researchers studied human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) to understand the unique features of these pluripotent cells, but on their own, they poorly resembled the complex structures ...

Chimpanzee naive pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) can now be grown in cellular cultures, reveals a recent study. They successfully created chimpanzee early embryo models, called 'blastoids,' and found ...

Jennifer Zenker receives funding from NHMRC and Viertel Foundation. Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as “miracle” cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in ...

Immune cells called B cells make antibodies that fight off invading bacteria, viruses and other foreign substances. During ...
