In a study of early embryonic development in primates, an international research team under the leadership of Berthold ...

Three and a half days after division begins (in mouse embryos), the proliferating cells form a structure called a blastocyst. It is 100 to 150 micrometers wide, or roughly the same size as the egg ...

Amid cuts to federal funding, US universities tighten budgets, forcing PhD students and early-career researchers to navigate an uncertain future. After widespread government layoffs, scientists worry ...

However, to create ES cell lines, it is necessary to destroy preimplantation embryos at the blastocyst stage of 100–200 cells. Many people believe that life begins at conception and that ...

Early embryonic cell polarity and lineage differentiation, which are vital to implantation, and continued embryonic growth climax with the onset of blastocyst formation. These processes are ...

In mammalian embryos (blastocysts), the first cell fate determination events occur early during the development, even before implanting into the uterus (pre-implantation). I am interested in ...
