Embryo development starts when a single egg cell is fertilized and starts dividing continuously. Initially a chaotic cluster, it gradually evolves into a highly organized structure. Scientists have ...

Over half of our genomes consists of thousands of remnants of ancient viral DNA, known as transposable elements, which are widespread across the tree of life. Once dismissed as the "dark side" of the ...

A stretch of viral DNA in the mouse genome gives cells in early-stage embryos the potential to become almost any cell type in ...

Integrated screening and CRISPR reveal eleven previously unknown factors essential for early embryo development. They showed ...

A research team led by Associate Professor Hirofumi Nishizono and graduate student Masaki Kato from the Research Support ...

Molecular mechanism uncovered in mice by UC Santa Cruz researchers reveals how a father’s diet, stress, and other ...

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

Researchers have developed a method for culturing fertilized chick eggs without their shells. The eggs were placed in an artificial culture vessel made of transparent film, allowing for real-time ...

"Understanding embryo implantation and embryo development just after implantation has significant clinical relevance as these stages are particularly prone to failure," said Dr. Peter Rugg-Gunn, ...

The team observed the emergence of the three-dimensional embryo-like structures under a microscope in the lab. These started producing blood (seen here in red) after around two weeks of development - ...
