Researchers at the Center for Embryology and Healthy Development (CRESCO) aim to find out why so many early embryos fail in ...

Development is the process by which a fertilized egg, or embryo, generates the cells, tissues, and organs of a new individual and assembles them into their proper form. Evolution produces the body ...

they model embryonic development’s pre-implantation period, up to seven days post fertilization. While stem cell-based embryo models greatly extend the ability to study this period of development, ...

The face is one of the most distinctive features ... The researchers traced mouse facial development from mid-embryonic stages (9.0 days post-coitum [dpc]) to just before birth (18.5 dpc).

Using CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into embryo-like structures, scientists at UC Santa Cruz were able to create “programmable” cellular models of embryos without ...

The findings help elucidate what happens during the earliest periods in development. “I was always interested in how cells decide their fate,” Zernicka-Goetz said. In the mouse developing embryo, she ...

They targeted regions of the genome known to be involved in the development of an early embryo. This allowed them to control which genes were activated, and induce the creation of main types of ...

Embryonic stem cells are occupying the minds of most US senators. While it is most pleasing to see cell biology in the limelight, ES cells present the political elite in Washington with one of the ...
