Work by the team of Dr. Frédéric Charron recently published in The Journal of Neuroscience, identifies the fundamental role of a family of proteins, the β-arrestins, in the development of the nervous ...

During animal development, cells divide and arrange themselves in a coordinated way, eventually forming the embryo. The cells communicate with one another during this process through cell-surface ...

Rice is a staple food crop for more than half the world's population, but most farmers don't grow high-yielding varieties because the seeds are too expensive. Researchers from the University of ...

In mammals, signalling between the placenta and the embryo is essential for successful development. Here, a quantitative, time-resolved model describes the coordinated formation of the mouse embryo ...

A controlled study in three slash pine lines found that optimized ratios of five nitrogen sources promoted somatic embryo maturation and shifted associated enzyme activity toward nitrogen assimilation ...

Their “programmable” embryo-like structures, also known as embryoids, can be used to study the role of certain genes in early development The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets ...

The Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation and Caltech have received a $2.8 million CIRM Discovery Stage Research grant to investigate key biological factors involved in early human embryo ...

Using CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into embryo-like structures, scientists were able to create 'programmable' cellular models of embryos without ever experimenting ...

A new study using stem cell-based models has shed new light on how the human embryo begins to develop, which could one day benefit the development of fertility treatment. A new study using stem ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development - including the ...

Researchers generated mouse embryo models entirely from chemically induced totipotent-like stem cells that self-organized ...
