Regulatory proteins common to all eukaryotic cells can have additional, unique functions in embryonic stem cells, according to a new study. If cancer progenitor cells -- which function similarly ...

New 'atlas' provides unprecedented insights on how genes function in early embryo development Ten-year project results in new gene databank that includes many genes tied to human disorders Date ...

As well as providing energy to the cell, glycolysis also controls cell fate in early embryonic development, laying the foundation for future organ development.

They uncovered key networks that simultaneously control pluripotency and readiness for cell death (apoptosis), helping to ensure optimal conditions for embryonic development.

Scientists studying gene activity data of the early human embryo have discovered an overlooked type of cell which self-destructs within days of forming, as part of a quality control process to ...

The team found that 80% of the stem cells organize themselves into a structure that mimics the most basic form of an embryo after a few days, and most undergo gene activation that reflects the ...

Exposure to alcohol during the first weeks of embryonic development changes gene activity and cellular metabolism. In laboratory cultures, it was found that the first cells of the nervous system ...
