A new study shows that the hourglass model of embryonic development is visible not only at the level of whole embryos, but already within individual cell lineages. Researchers at the Max Planck ...

In reptiles, a simple temperature change can determine whether an egg develops into a male or female. This process is formally known as temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD), in which the sex ...

Dr Jitesh Neupane discusses his hematoids model and opportunities to study childhood blood disorders and future stem cell therapies.

Figure 1. Conceptual visualization of additive manufacturing-enabled IVF workflows used in advanced embryo screening. Anthony Palumbo and Charles Goulding examine how additive manufacturing is ...

BEIJING -- After years of dedicated research, a team of Chinese scientists has unveiled critical mechanisms governing early human embryonic development, offering novel theories and potential ...

Studying the shape of tissues and organs is critical to understanding how they are formed. Embryonic development happens in three dimensions, but many studies are limited by the use of two-dimensional ...

In recent years, the revolutionary progress in research methods, especially single-cell multi-omics, has ushered in a transformative era in the study of developmental biology. Modern developmental ...

Study in a Sentence: Scientists have developed a new human-based endometrial model to study embryonic implantation in the early stages of pregnancy. Healthy for Humans: For pregnancy to begin, an ...

New stem cell-based embryo model reveals previously unknown communication between early tissues that become the spine and muscles in the central part of the body. From the moment an embryo starts to ...
