To answer this question, Hanna and his team set out to develop an ex utero embryo model. The team differentiated the human naïve ESC into four subpopulations and cultured them at specific ratios to ...

BEIJING -- Researchers from the Institute of Automation at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have revealed the intrinsic ...

And now, scientists have shown that transposable elements also play crucial roles in the development of human embryos. The findings have been reported in Cell. There are transposable elements in the ...

For the first time, scientists at the Francis Crick Institute have successfully developed human stem cell models that include a functional notochord—a crucial tissue in embryonic development ...

Emerging findings suggest that viral DNA may play an important part in how embryos form, right after fertilization.

Early embryo development is a highly dynamic process that is of great interest to scientists, but most studies tend to focus on a single species, typically mouse or human. This study, however ...

Extraembryonic trophoblast lineages constitute the placenta, and are essential for individual development. In human early embryo development, these cells can be generated from totipotent blastomeres.

Conventional human pluripotent stem cells at the primed pluripotent state are capable of generating all the embryonic lineages.
