Researchers have used naïve pluripotent stem cells to create an embryo model that looks and acts like a natural human embryo. They say it’s an ethical way of gaining a better understanding of ...
Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...
The curved shape of a zebrafish egg causes unequal cell divisions, creating larger cells near the animal pole and smaller ...
Scientists have created a stem cell-derived model of the human embryo in the lab by reprogramming human stem cells. The breakthrough could help research into genetic disorders and in understanding why ...
High-resolution 3D womb model gives insights into embryo implantation, infertility, and signals between embryo and mother, ...
A recent Nature study evaluates post-implantation development in humans using embryo-like models based on genetically unmodified human naïve embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Study: Complete human day 14 ...
Researchers have used stem cells to develop new human embryolike structures that model the earliest stages of fetal development so realistically that they even secrete hormones that can turn a lab ...
Described in a paper in the journal Cell, the model allows scientists to study interactions between the womb and embryo, and ...
The majority of fertilized eggs die and are resorbed into the body. ZEISS Microscopy/Flickr, CC BY-SA As an evolutionary biologist whose career has focused on how embryos develop in a wide variety of ...
