Multicellularity is one of the most profound phenomena in biology, and relies on the ability of a single cell to reorganize ...

Week 3 of pregnancy is a critical stage when the embryo begins to grow rapidly. During this week, cells divide at an ...

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 ...

Rowan University biology professor Natasha Shylo is exploring left-right asymmetry development with a grant from the National Institutes of Health.

Researchers have used naïve pluripotent stem cells to create an embryo model that looks and acts like a natural human embryo. They say it’s an ethical way of gaining a better understanding of ...

Embryo development starts when a single egg cell is fertilized and starts dividing continuously. Initially a chaotic cluster, it gradually evolves into a highly organized structure. Scientists have ...

Embryos in pregnancies that end in miscarriage take longer to develop in the womb than those in pregnancies that result in live births, according to new research published today (Monday) in Human ...

Studying the shape of tissues and organs is critical to understanding how they are formed. Embryonic development happens in ...

Researchers at Vanderbilt University have developed a new embryo culture dish that significantly improves microscope imaging, a longstanding barrier in in‑vitro fertilization (IVF). Traditional 3D ...

Passing on fundamental life lessons from parent to offspring is not unique to humans and animals. Ferns do it too. Not with words, but through ...
