Prof Jules Griffin, Director of the Rowett Institute, University of Aberdeen, said: ...

Researchers developed a method that visualizes gene activity across an entire embryo with high spatial detail. The resulting ...

Embryonic development is a finely orchestrated process in which a single cell differentiates into the myriad specialised tissues that comprise a fully formed organism. Central to this process are ...

A lot happens in the first month of human embryo development as a single cell morphs into multitudes. Yet despite its significance, this period is basically a “black box” to researchers, says stem ...

Embryonic development is a meticulously orchestrated process in which spatial and temporal cues guide cell fate determination and tissue patterning. Central to this process is morphogen signalling – a ...

Despite being an essential developmental process, the understanding of human embryonic genome activation is limited, owing to the lack of in vitro cell models and ethical concerns. To advance ...

Magdalena (Magda) Zernicka-Goetz, today a developmental and stem cell biologist at the University of Cambridge and California Institute of Technology, recalled being an artistic child who enjoyed ...
