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 ...
Scientists have traced the development of a mouse embryo from its first two cells to the formation of organs, using a ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
