Model used to create a cellular ‘hologram’ of a mouse embryo could be used to visualize development in any species. Researchers have created the most detailed 3D cellular map yet of a mouse embryo, ...
A stretch of viral DNA in the mouse genome gives cells in early-stage embryos the potential to become almost any cell type in ...
Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...
The curved shape of a zebrafish egg causes unequal cell divisions, creating larger cells near the animal pole and smaller ...
Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...
