Is there only one optimal configuration an organism can reach during evolution? Is there a single formula that describes the ...

To answer this question, Hanna and his team set out to develop an ex utero embryo model. The team differentiated the human naïve ESC into four subpopulations and cultured them at specific ratios to ...

they model embryonic development’s pre-implantation period, up to seven days post fertilization. While stem cell-based embryo models greatly extend the ability to study this period of development, ...

Scientists found that fruit fly embryos can develop through multiple genetic paths, not just one. This challenges traditional ideas.

A stem-cell derived human embryo model showing blue cells (embryo ... But there is now a rapidly developing field mimicking natural embryo development. This research, published in the journal ...

Evolution might allow for multiple optimal solutions, depending on the constraints and conditions under which an organism ...

Scientists have officially grown a notochord—the tissues that act as the “GPS for the developing embryo” by guiding the ...

With this dataset, they propose a physical model that explains how a mammalian embryo builds structure from chaos. In animals ...

just as it does in a natural embryo. This breakthrough is not just a technical achievement but also a stepping stone toward a deeper understanding of early human development. The ability to model ...

How cells utilize electric fields to guide their migration during embryonic development. As an embryo develops, cells ...

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 ...
