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 ...

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 ...

Researchers from the Kind Group have gained new insights into the mechanism behind the spatial organization of DNA within the cells of early embryos. When an embryo is first formed after fertilization ...

Embryonic morphological development is delayed in live pregnancies ending in miscarriage, according to a prospective cohort study from the Netherlands. Among over 600 singleton pregnancies, those ...

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 ...

Using the fruit fly, scientists have constructed a complete and detailed single-cell map of embryo development. This research will also help scientists pursue questions like how mutations lead to ...

Ancient viruses are embedded everywhere in the human genome. Estimates range, but it's thought that about eight percent of the human genome could be made up of these ancient retroviruses, which are ...

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