Three years ago, George Kassiotis and his team made an unexpected discovery: A specific way of producing a protein called ...

DNA typewriter maps mouse embryo development to reveal disease origins Barcode trail tracks cell family trees to pinpoint ...

Like all complex organisms, every human originates from a single cell that multiplies through countless cell divisions. Thousands of cells coordinate, move and exert mechanical forces on each other as ...

Scientists have succeeded in reconstructing the family tree of cells in a developing mouse embryo. They recorded cells’ ...

In the earliest stages of life, mammalian embryos start as a disorganized cluster of cells. As development progresses, these cells become organized into well-defined shapes and structures. This ...

In the earliest stages of life, mammalian embryos start as a disorganized cluster of cells. As development progresses, these cells become organized into well-defined shapes and structures. This ...

Embryonic morphogenesis encompasses the collective and individual cell behaviours that sculpt the early embryo into a structured body plan. Central to this process are coordinated cell migrations, ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early embryonic development have remained elusive – particularly for egg-laying ...

Cultivated steak is notoriously difficult to produce. But a new study could make it easier, at least in theory. Researchers from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) Barcelona have ...

For decades, scientists have believed that a protein called interferon tau (IFNT) is indispensable for pregnancy in cattle.

Scientists in the Brivanlou lab used light-inducible gene expression (yellow circle) and embryo models to demonstrate that, at the start of gastrulation, body-axis formation requires an interplay ...

Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as “miracle” cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in our bodies, promising revolutionary medical treatments. However, ...
