In 1896, in his seminal work “The Cell in Development and Inheritance”, the cell biologist Edmund B. Wilson formulated a ...

Scientists have created a comprehensive "atlas" of what early embryonic development looks like in mammals, showcasing how a ...

Scientists have grown an entity that closely resembles an early human embryo ... now a rapidly developing field mimicking natural embryo development. This research, published in the journal ...

Many top UK scientists are calling for the current 14-day limit on embryo research to be doubled to 28-days, so they can study the unexplored secrets of early human development. Lifting the ban ...

Early development of an embryo is solely supported by maternally deposited RNAs and proteins until its own genome is activated through a process ...

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs or ES cells) are cells from the early embryonic development, from which all cells and organs of an individual descend. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent, meaning that ...

This meant that early ZGA research had to be carried out on non-human models. Indeed, this latest discovery follows scientists uncovering the genome stage of development in mouse embryonic stem ...

We all start our lives as symmetric balls of cells. In humans, during the first few weeks after fertilization, embryonic ...

Early development of an embryo is solely supported by maternally deposited RNAs and proteins until its own genome is activated through a process called zygotic genome activation (ZGA). Recent work by ...

The ethical and governance review co-authored by Professor Cave concludes that a phased approach is needed – ‘soft’ governance implementing the UK SCBEM Code of Practice, as a stepping stone to ‘hard’ ...
