Transposons, once thought to be harmful, are crucial in early human development. They ensure embryo cells grow correctly.

In a paper published in SCIENCE CHINA Life Sciences, a team from Peking University Third Hospital delves into the sex ...

A recent study highlights how transposons, especially LINE-1, play a critical role in human embryo development.

The findings have significant implications for our understanding of early human life and may improve ... the timing of the normally continuous embryonic development can be altered to improve ...

A critical transition in early human development is regulated not by our own genes, but by DNA elements called transposons ...

Scientists have discovered a kind of “pause button” in early human development ... species have an ability known as embryonic diapause, in which the development of an embryo can be paused ...

Scientists from Sinai Health have made a surprising discovery about DNA elements called transposons, which play a crucial ...

Results suggest novel roles for LINE1 transposable elements that can be explored in the contexts of diseases, from ...

Their study, published in the journal Developmental Cell, indicates that transposable elements are critical to ensure that ...

A new "atlas" of early embryonic development in mammals suggests that the process is highly chaotic — but there is some method to the madness. Scientists have created a comprehensive "atlas" of ...
