This workshop explored the state of the science of mammalian embryo model systems, including nonhuman primate and human models. The goal was to begin with an overview of the developments that have set ...

Over half of our genomes consists of thousands of remnants of ancient viral DNA, known as transposable elements, which are widespread across the tree of life. Once dismissed as the "dark side" of the ...

A new experimental design that can sustain mouse embryos outside the uterus means that soon, we may be able to watch mammalian embryo development in real time. Hosted by: Hank Green SciShow has a ...

A lab bench in the genomics lab of Jay Shendure at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle. During its gestation, the house mouse starts out as a single fertilized cell and three ...

Self-organizing multicellular systems derived from mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells called gastruloids, which previously have been shown to mimic critical events of mammalian gastrulation, have been ...

Biological processes depend on puzzle pieces coming together and interacting. Under specific conditions, these interactions can create something new without external input. This is called ...
