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 central question has been: How do thousands of genes work together in an embryo, and how is their activity linked to the movement of cells?” says first author Yinan Wan. To answer this question, ...

The vertebrate hindbrain undergoes a complex process of segmentation and patterning during embryogenesis, a process governed by tightly regulated gene networks and signalling gradients. Central to ...
Research improves upon a popular experimental model of mammal development and in doing so, reveals more of the inner workings of a critical period during the formation of an embryo. Research from Ph.D ...
With weMERFISH, the MERFISHEYES atlas and the integration of live imaging, researchers now have a new tool at their disposal.
University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development - including the ...
Scientists have created synthetic blobs that resemble a 14-day-old human embryo for the first time, meaning they can study embryo development beyond a particularly tricky period of pregnancy.
