In their publication in Science, Professor Guojun Sheng (Kumamoto University, Japan), Professor Alfonso Martinez Arias (Universidad Pompeu Fabra, Spain) and Professor Ann Sutherland (University of ...

A research team from Rice University led by Aryeh Warmflash has made strides in understanding the processes that guide human embryonic development. The group’s findings were published in the ...

Scientists revise the current textbook knowledge about gastrulation, the formation of the basic body plan during embryonic development. Their study in mice has implications for cell replacement ...

An unexpected link has been found between the metabolic pathways that produce energy for embryo growth, and the cellular signalling systems that regulate cell specialization and movement during early ...

In a recent study published in the Cell journal, researchers showed that post-gastrulation synthetic embryos (sEmbryos) could be synthesized outside the uterus using mouse naïve embryonic stem cells ...

The trunk is a key feature of the bilaterian body plan. Despite spectacular morphological diversity in bilaterian trunk anatomies, most insights into trunk development are from segmented taxa, namely ...

Researchers offer a phylogenetic and ontogenetic overview of the primitive streak and its role in mediating amniote (vertebrate animals that develop on land) gastrulation, and discuss the implications ...
