A lot happens in the first month of human embryo development as a single cell morphs into multitudes. Yet despite its significance, this period is basically a “black box” to researchers, says stem ...

Researchers from the A*STAR Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB) have identified Nr1h2, a critical transcription factor essential for early embryo development. Published in Nature ...

Researchers have discovered that the earliest days of embryo development have a measurable impact on a person's future health and aging. Researchers from the University of Adelaide have discovered ...

In April, researchers in China reported that they had initiated pregnancies in monkeys through a procedure seemingly much like in vitro fertilization (IVF), in which embryos created in a dish were ...

“A central question has been: How do thousands of genes work together in an embryo, and how is their activity linked to the movement of cells?” says first author Yinan Wan. To answer this question, ...

Descriptions of the embryo go back at least to the time of Aristotle, but it has only been since the late 19 th century and early 20 th century that advances in experimental approaches allowed ...
