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 ...
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 ...
Research led by the University of Cambridge Loke Center for Trophoblast Research has shown that a genome-editing technique ...

One Missing Gene Would Stop Human Embryos From Forming Properly, Study Finds
Illustration of an embryo in the early stages of development. (Design Cells/iStock/Getty Images) The first moments of life ...
Researchers led by developmental biologist Kathy Niakan at the University of Cambridge have used base editing in human embryos to learn more about human embryonic development. By deactivating a gene ...
What if you could precisely change the genome of a pre-implantation human embryo and then safely use that embryo to try to ...
Among the body's most crucial protective features are the brain barrier systems, including the blood-brain and blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barriers. These barriers are made of highly specialized ...
Much was promised in the late 1990s, but the challenge of advances such as growing whole human organs has been difficult to deliver, writes Simon Roach ...
In order for vertebrate embryos to develop their body axes, they require what is known as an embryonic signaling center. This ...
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, ...
Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...
