Multicellularity is one of the most profound phenomena in biology, and relies on the ability of a single cell to reorganize ...

Neural crest cells are a population of stem cells that invade the embryo in early development. They play a big role in what ...

Studying the shape of tissues and organs is critical to understanding how they are formed. Embryonic development happens in ...

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 ...

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal condition that may raise miscarriage risk, particularly in the first trimester ...

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 ...

Glycolysis is an ancient metabolic activity. It consists of a set of reactions that convert glucose into energy. This central process allows cells to grow, divide, and stay alive. It has accompanied ...

Metabolism does more than fuel embryos—it sets their developmental rhythm. EMBL researchers found that a sugar molecule, FBP, controls the pace of spine formation, suggesting metabolism may act as a ...

Researchers in the College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources have developed a novel line of bovine embryonic stem ...
