Researchers developed a method that visualizes gene activity across an entire embryo with high spatial detail. The resulting ...

Scientists have long observed that embryos of different species within a phylum look quite distinct at early and late ...

A lot happens in the first month of human embryo development as a single cell morphs into multitudes. Yet despite its significance, this period is basically a “black box” to researchers, says stem ...

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 ...

Some newly reported clumps of cells growing in lab dishes have been hailed as the closest things to human embryos that scientists have ever made in the lab. These entities are human embryo models — ...

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 ...

New neuroscience research identifies Glutamine Synthetase as the key enzyme driving postnatal brain maturation and neuronal connectivity via the mTOR pathway.

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have mapped how small RNA molecules, such as the recently Nobel Prize-awarded microRNAs, control cell development in the human embryo during the first days after ...

A single-cell RNA atlas maps sea urchin development, revealing rare neuronal lineages and gene activity across stages, and enabling intuitive exploration through a public database.

A high-grade fever disrupts the body's equilibrium because it creates conditions which can harm foetal development by ...
