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 ...

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

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

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

The human body was not built for spaceflight, with its microgravity conditions, exposure to high-energy radiation and other ...

The way humans develop from a single-cell zygote to a complex multicellular organism remains poorly understood. However, research looking at embryo development is difficult because of restrictions on ...

In conclusion, 10 ng/mL NT-4 supplementation enhanced blastocyst quality by regulating the apoptosis- and TE lineage specification-related genes and interacting with neurotrophin-, Hippo-YAP-, and ...

In recent years many advances have been obtained in identifying the signals acting during embryo development and understanding their properties and functions, which is relevant for human pathology and ...

DNA from ancient viruses that form a part of the human genome may be contributing in the early development of an embryo in ...

Two studies published in the latest issue of Science have revealed that birds, reptiles, and mammals have developed complex ...
