A new study provides the first detailed description of development in the sea star Asterias forbesi and shows that the ...

How can the identity of pluripotent stem cells be determined more reliably during their differentiation? Researchers from the ...

A new study traced the forebrain and hindbrain to separate evolutionary lineages, then researchers used that discovery to ...

A study in laboratory mice identified two distinct cell populations that form different parts of the nervous system, ...

Researchers generated mouse embryo models entirely from chemically induced totipotent-like stem cells that self-organized through gastrulation, blood formation and beating cardiac tissue resembling ...

Gastrulation is the process during which the early sphere-like embryo of most animals is dramatically re-organised by the inward migration of cells on the outside of the embryo. During gastrulation, ...
