An international team of experts in embryology and bioethics has published the first white paper on the use of embryonic ...

In recent years, the field of developmental biology has undergone a transformative shift with the introduction of stem cell-derived embryo models 1. These innovative models emulate various stages of ...

A new study reveals that age-related autophagy decline blocks embryo development by triggering a lipid-burning crisis.

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 ...

The quality of oocytes and early embryos is a key determinant of reproductive success. As the primary executors of all cellular functions, proteins orchestrate the molecular events underlying oocyte ...

Research improves upon a popular experimental model of mammal development and in doing so, reveals more of the inner workings of a critical period during the formation of an embryo. Research from Ph.D ...

During embryonic stem cell (ESC) development, pluripotent stem cells transition from a naïve state into a primed state before they take their first steps toward a lineage commitment. Jacob Hanna, a ...

Scientists have created a comprehensive "atlas" of what early embryonic development looks like in mammals, showcasing how a fertilized egg transforms into a complex organism with a distinctive shape ...

Research from Ph.D. candidate Bohan Chen in the lab of Idse Heemskerk of the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology at the University of Michigan Medical School and their colleagues improves ...
