For decades, scientists have struggled to study this moment in humans because of ethical restrictions and limited access to ...

Scientists create a ‘mini-womb’ 3D model on a microfluidic chip which could lead to treatments for women affected by ...

A lot happens in the first month of human embryo development as a single cell morphs into multitudes. Yet despite its significance, this period is basically a “black box” to researchers, says stem ...

The discovery of a gene essential to early embryonic development sheds light on the preliminary stages of human placenta formation. A team led by scientists from the University of California San Diego ...

A cell aggregation of human pluripotent stem cells and amniotic ectoderm cells generated by the published culture method and mimicking the gastrulation event in human embryos. Gray: nuclei, Cyan: ...

Stem-cell models provide evidence that viral DNA sequences that entered the human genome in the past were repurposed to aid early stages of embryonic development. Sherif Khodeer is in the Department ...

The team observed the emergence of the three-dimensional embryo-like structures under a microscope in the lab. These started producing blood (seen here in red) after around two weeks of development - ...

It's one of life's most defining moments - that crucial step in embryonic development, when an indistinct ball of cells rearranges itself into the orderly three-layered structure that sets the stage ...

The new organoids were grown in the lab for up to 40 days, and they mimicked the central nervous system of an 11-week-old human embryo. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Formation of the energy-producing machinery in the proximal tubule of the nephron is an essential step in differentiation. The authors show that mitochondrial localization depends on LRRK2, the ...

Collaborative work has developed a cell culture system that differentiates human pluripotent stem cells to amniotic ectoderm and surface ectoderm based on cell density. Research conducted by Dr Shota ...
