The research shows that the MERVL endogenous retrovirus sets the pace in embryo development, especially during the specific step of the transition from totipotency to pluripotency, and explains the ...

A small tissue fold in fly embryos, once thought purposeless, plays a vital role in stabilizing tissues. Researchers show that it absorbs stress during early development, and its position and timing ...

New research has unveiled a remarkable mechanism by which tissues in zebrafish coordinate their growth during embryonic development.

A new deep learning model performs a task that biologists have struggled with for centuries -- how to measure the incredibly complex process of embryonic development. Scientists have shown that the AI ...

Embryo-like structures have been created from monkey stem cells and implanted into female monkeys, marking the first time this has ever been performed. The new research hopes to push forward our ...

The first few days of a human embryo’s development, known as pre-implantation, are important. It’s when the first cells are formed, and these decide if the embryo can survive, how it will implant in ...

The de-extinction company Colossal Biosciences has reached another big milestone in its mission to make extinction a thing of ...

A reverse-image search of the photo using Google Lens (archived here) revealed that the image has been in circulation since at least 2019. Despite the absolutely boopable snoot, Snopes determined this ...
