Gene-editing technologies enabled researchers to trace the cell-by-cell development of a single fertilised mouse egg to a ...

Zebrafish neural crest cells migrating through extremely confined embryonic tissues deform their nuclei dramatically yet ...

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

University of Sydney researchers have developed a new way to test how closely lab-grown biological models resemble real human embryos, finding that while some models perform well, none yet fully ...

For years, scientists have grown ball-like structures from human stem cells that mimic some of the earliest stages of ...

Three years ago, George Kassiotis and his team made an unexpected discovery: A specific way of producing a protein called calbindin was found to help cancer cells survive by preventing them from aging ...

The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets an egg, are shrouded in scientific mystery. The process of how a humble single cell becomes an organism fascinates scientists across ...

University of Sydney researchers have developed a powerful way to test how closely lab-grown biological models resemble real human embryos, finding that while some models perform well, none yet fully ...

Embryo development starts when a single egg cell is fertilized and starts dividing continuously. Initially a chaotic cluster, it gradually evolves into a highly organized structure. Scientists have ...

Magdalena (Magda) Zernicka-Goetz, today a developmental and stem cell biologist at the University of Cambridge and California Institute of Technology, recalled being an artistic child who enjoyed ...
