A research team showed that, contrary to current models, one early embryonic cell dominates lineages that will become the fetus. Shelby is an Assistant Editor for The Scientist. She earned her PhD ...

During the oocyte-to-embryo transition (OET), the length of ... which is selectively expressed in 2-cell-like cells (2CLCs). Cellular and in vitro biochemical experiments showed that MARTRE1 ...

Scientists have long dreamed of plucking those naive cells from a young human embryo and coaxing them to perform, in sterile isolation, the everyday miracle they perform in wombs: transforming ...

(2) Micropattern Colonies: To study the spatial organization ... a stem cell biologist at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology who works with both stem cell-based embryo models ...

In a new study published in Developmental Cell, researchers led by Université de Montréal (UdeM) professor Greg FitzHarris show how the early mouse embryo gets rid of the defective or unneeded ...

Using CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into embryo-like structures, scientists at UC Santa Cruz were able to create “programmable” cellular models of embryos without ...
