The age-old question of the chicken or the egg is explored through evolutionary biology. Eggs, as membrane-bound containers ...

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 ...

A tissue fold known as the cephalic furrow, an evolutionary novelty that forms between the head and the trunk of fly embryos, ...

Researchers found that THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis, alters oocyte gene expression, spindle formation, and ...

In a quiet lab at Cornell University, scientists have made a discovery that could reshape how we think about life’s earliest ...

Embryos regulate mechanical tensions between tissues and thus stabilize developmental processes – the basis for evolutionary ...

Scientists are making new discoveries every day, but many of them fall under the radar. Some of these findings are ...

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

For the past three months the chatter of the Arctic Tern colony has served as the soundtrack of the summer breeding season.

A Canadian study found that cannabis exposure influences human egg quality. While THC was linked to higher egg maturation, it ...

The researchers are working on three future projects using their model, including using induced pluripotent stem cells from a ...

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