Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on Earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.

The curved shape of a zebrafish egg causes unequal cell divisions, creating larger cells near the animal pole and smaller ...

Around eight days after fertilization, the human embryo implants in the endometrium (the tissue that lines the uterus). After implantation, it enters a developmental phase that is not well understood ...

This research, supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation, is an important step toward helping biologists understand ...

Understanding how cells differentiate during early embryonic development is crucial for advancing regenerative medicine and developmental biology. Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) have been invaluable ...

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 ...
