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

Scientists often call it an antenna. This tiny structure, sticking out from the surface of most human cells, is known as the ...

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 ...

Despite being an essential developmental process, the understanding of human embryonic genome activation is limited, owing to the lack of in vitro cell models and ethical concerns. To advance ...

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

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

Consider the crustacean Parhyale hawaiensis, a tiny crustacean with some interesting attributes. “It’s been called a ‘living Swiss army knife,’” said Dillon Cislo, the lead author of a study that ...

Researchers reviewed evidence on Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and found it may enhance mitochondrial function, improve oocyte quality ...
