A discovery upends decades of assumptions regarding DNA replication. The study show that DNA replication in early embryos is different from what past research has taught, and includes a period of ...

In a bid to improve organ transplant options in the future, a team led by researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences has shown that it's possible to produce pig embryos containing "humanized" ...

Metabolism does more than fuel embryos—it sets their developmental rhythm. EMBL researchers found that a sugar molecule, FBP, ...

A new study delves into the development of the ilium, the largest bone in the pelvis, and the genes that underpin its formation ...

EMBL researchers found metabolism plays a signaling role during embryonic development, not just an energy-providing one. In ...

In vertebrates, the skeleton of different regions of the body arises from different precursor cells. Researchers at the University of Basel have now discovered that these skeletal cells do not just ...

A recent Nature study evaluates post-implantation development in humans using embryo-like models based on genetically unmodified human naïve embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Study: Complete human day 14 ...

A perfectly preserved dinosaur embryo has been found in China: little Yingliang reveals the posture of birds before birth.

All vertebrate species have a pelvis, but only humans use it for upright, two-legged walking.* The evolution of the human pelvis, and our two-legged gait, dates back 5 million years, but the precise ...
