Scientists have created the first detailed day-by-day map of human embryo development using single-cell technology.

The process, which would carry significant safety concerns, involves removing the nucleus from a woman's skin cell and ...

Despite being an essential developmental process, the understanding of human embryonic genome activation is limited, owing to the lack of in vitro cell models and ethical concerns. To advance ...

US scientists testing the technique say it could help people overcome infertility and potentially allow same-sex couples to ...

Two to three weeks after conception, an embryo faces a critical point in its development. In the stage known as gastrulation, the transformation of embryonic cells into specialized cells begins. This ...

Scientists have created a stem cell-derived model of the human embryo in the lab by reprogramming human stem cells. The breakthrough could help research into genetic disorders and in understanding why ...

The new organoids were grown in the lab for up to 40 days, and they mimicked the central nervous system of an 11-week-old human embryo. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

The onset of embryo-specific gene transcription, also known as embryonic genome activation (EGA), is a crucial step in the developmental journey of an organism. Although EGA has been studied to some ...

During embryonic stem cell (ESC) development, pluripotent stem cells transition from a naïve state into a primed state before they take their first steps toward a lineage commitment. Jacob Hanna, a ...

Christopher Arellano Reyes majored in biology and minored in chemistry and biotechnology and was a 2022-23 health care ethics intern with the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara ...
