Magdalena (Magda) Zernicka-Goetz, today a developmental and stem cell biologist at the University of Cambridge and California Institute of Technology, recalled being an artistic child who enjoyed ...

A stretch of viral DNA in the mouse genome gives cells in early-stage embryos the potential to become almost any cell type in ...

Infertility is a major healthcare concern. Understanding the molecular regulators governing fertilization, early embryonic ...

Study reveals that genomic nuclear speckle-associated domains (SPADs) are step-wise organized during mouse early embryogenesis, with key factors contribution in this process. Following mammalian ...

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 ...

A recent study published in Cell investigates how lamina-associated domains (LADs) contribute to nuclear genome organization in early-stage mouse embryos. Focusing on the zygote and two-cell stages, ...

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 ...

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 ...
