Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

The curved shape of a zebrafish egg causes unequal cell divisions, creating larger cells near the animal pole and smaller ...

Studying embryogenesis is key to unraveling the mysteries of early life. luismmolina/iStock via Getty Images Plus Embryonic development, also known as embryogenesis, is a cornerstone in understanding ...

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 ...

A MedUni Vienna study team led by geneticist Markus Hengstschläger has used a stem cell model to model the earliest stages of embryonic development and to characterize the membrane that surrounds the ...

The work appears in Cell. "Understanding embryo implantation and embryo development just after implantation has significant clinical relevance as these stages are particularly prone to failure," said ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

Bovine embryos develop at a pace and pattern that closely mirrors human embryos. They also offer practical benefits. Embryos can be easily collected and studied in the lab, making them ideal for this ...
