By tracking the fate of individual embryonic stem cells, researchers have found that endoderm cells—early embryonic cells ...

It would certainly spare mothers the hardships of pregnancy, but mammals do not grow in eggs. In a way, this is also impractical for science. While embryos of fish, amphibians or birds can be easily ...

Research led by the University of Plymouth has shown that a new deep learning AI model can identify what happens and when during embryonic development, from video. Published today (Wednesday 29 May) ...

Genes are transcribed from DNA into RNA, which is then processed in various ways before being translated into proteins. RNA molecules get edited or spliced, and certain sequences might be removed ...

Consider the crustacean Parhyale hawaiensis, a tiny crustacean with some interesting attributes. “It’s been called a ‘living Swiss army knife,’” said Dillon Cislo, the lead author of a study that ...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has emerged as a pivotal non‐invasive imaging modality in the study of embryonic development. By harnessing light to capture high-resolution, three‐dimensional ...

New research has unveiled a remarkable mechanism by which tissues in zebrafish coordinate their growth during embryonic development.

Smoking by mothers during the period immediately before and after conception is linked to a delay in embryonic development, smaller fetuses at the time of the 20-week ultrasound scan, and lower birth ...

Under the microscope, MSK scientists studied how cells in a mouse embryo (green) move out and break away from their original tissue by contracting their surfaces (red). Studying this process, known as ...

Researchers at EPFL have created the first 4D lipid atlas of vertebrate development, revealing how fats shape our bodies from ...

Aug. 11 (UPI) --A team of Spanish researchers announced Friday they have for the first time recorded video of a human embryo implanting itself in a simulated uterine wall, revealing never-before-seen ...
