Studying embryogenesis is key to unraveling the mysteries of early life. luismmolina/iStock via Getty Images Plus Embryonic development, also known as embryogenesis, is a cornerstone in understanding ...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare condition that's difficult to treat. The hallmarks of the disease—narrowing of the arterioles and capillaries that deliver blood to the lungs—force the ...

The new platform's ethically grounded approach promises to reveal much about how human embryos form during the earliest stages of pregnancy. It's one of life's most defining moments -- that crucial ...

Scientists in the Brivanlou lab used light-inducible gene expression (yellow circle) and embryo models to demonstrate that, at the start of gastrulation, body-axis formation requires an interplay ...

The new method offers researchers a powerful new platform to investigate the molecular mechanisms that control oogenesis, the process by which egg cells develop, and lays important groundwork for ...

A research team showed that, contrary to current models, one early embryonic cell dominates lineages that will become the fetus. “They are not identical,” said Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz, a ...

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 ...

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

Teratomas are embryonal tumors that arise in the germ cells and contain different types of tissues, including bone, teeth, hair, and muscle. 1 Scientists have classified teratomas as a rare type of ...
