Researchers at Dresden University of Technology reveal that early zebrafish embryos divide without a closed actin ring.

Descriptions of the embryo go back at least to the time of Aristotle, but it has only been since the late 19 th century and early 20 th century that advances in experimental approaches allowed ...

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

Scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), used CRISPR to engineer cellular models of embryos that mimic what happens in the first few days after reproductive cells meet. These ...

A sweeping genetic screen reveals how the brain is built and exposes a hidden gene behind a newly discovered childhood brain ...

The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.

Researchers have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four weeks after fertilization. This is ...

An international research team identified hundreds of genes essential for the development of brain cells, including one gene ...
