A research team led by Associate Professor Hirofumi Nishizono and graduate student Masaki Kato from the Research Support ...

Using a newly developed method researchers at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (IMBA) have been able to shed light on the complexity of genome ...

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

Integrated screening and CRISPR reveal eleven previously unknown factors essential for early embryo development. They showed ...

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 ...

Live imaging of embryos at different stages. Chromosomes are labeled in magenta. 4-cell sister blastomeres are shown, along with 3D-reconstructed images of 2-to-4-cell and 4-to-8-cell divisions.

Research led by the SickKids Research Institute in Toronto and the University of Pennsylvania, has found that immune-related ...

The team first created mice that lacked a key iron accumulation gene in the gonadal cells of XY embryos during the period of sex determination. These embryos had higher levels of DNA methylation, ...

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