By tracking the fate of individual embryonic stem cells, researchers have found that endoderm cells—early embryonic cells ...

A study in newborn chicks shows that brain lateralisation is essential for the development of a left-to-right mental number line.

The use of assisted reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilization is becoming more common worldwide. However, while ...

Lateralization of the brain—the tendency for the left and right hemispheres to specialize in different functions—underlies ...

Embryonic development is a meticulously orchestrated process in which spatial and temporal cues guide cell fate determination and tissue patterning. Central to this process is morphogen signalling – a ...

A recent study delves into the pivotal role of Setd2, a histone methyltransferase enzyme, in embryonic development within mice. Setd2 is instrumental in the trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 36 ...

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 ...
