By engineering a system replicating the womb lining with high biological accuracy, researchers at the Babraham Institute and ...

A new discovery by researchers challenges our current understanding of gastrulation, the most important stage of early embryonic development. When the zygote, or the fertilised egg, starts to develop, ...

Scientists revise the current textbook knowledge about gastrulation, the formation of the basic body plan during embryonic development. Their study in mice has implications for cell replacement ...

In the course of early embryonic development, pluripotent stem cells first give rise to three lineages or ‘germ layers’, which then generate all cell types, tissues and organs of the human body, e.g.

Descriptions of the embryo go back at least to the time of Aristotle, but it has only been since the late 19 th century and early 20 th century that advances in experimental approaches allowed ...

Advances in genetic and computational tools have enabled researchers to study complex networks of gene expression in individual cells, and the patterns of gene expression in a population of cells ...

For several years, researchers studied human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) to understand the unique features of these pluripotent cells, but on their own, they poorly resembled the complex structures ...
