Researchers have discovered an added layer of complexity in the network that determines human embryonic stem cell fate. A report publishing online April 30th in the journal Cell, a Cell Press ...

Genomic scientists have revealed new insights into the process of human embryonic development using large-scale, whole-genome sequencing of cells and tissues from adult humans. The study analyzes ...

The first lineage decisions in mammalian embryonic development are made shortly after a wave of transcriptional activation that acts as a wake-up call for the sleeping embryonic genome to claim the ...

Scientists have developed a new model to study an early stage of human development, using human embryonic stem cells. Scientists from the University of Cambridge, in collaboration with the Hubrecht ...

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are found in the inner cell mass of the human blastocyst, an early stage of the developing embryo lasting from the 4 th to 7 th day after fertilization. In normal embryonic ...

Researchers have developed the first-ever embryo-like model from human embryonic stem cells, a workaround that will let them examine birth defects and diseases they couldn’t otherwise, given ethical ...

Scientists in the Brivanlou lab used light-inducible gene expression (yellow circle) and embryo models to demonstrate that, at the start of gastrulation, body-axis formation requires an interplay ...
