Research led by the University of Cambridge Loke Center for Trophoblast Research has shown that a genome-editing technique ...

Chinese researchers have taken a big step toward a world in which we can cultivate organs for transplant, with the first-ever ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...

We have identified the gene that, when activated, initiates the developmental programme that results in cells forming a human ...

Millions of neurons branch throughout our bodies, keeping them in close communication with our brains. This peripheral network begins to take shape long before birth, as the cells of a growing embryo ...

Recent studies integrating multi-omics data with cell atlases across development for brains of humans and model organisms are revealing conserved and divergent patterns of brain development at the ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

Scientists have discovered a method of helping human stem cells thrive in an animal embryo—a key development in efforts to grow human organs in animals for medical transplants. A study by UT ...

Developing neocortex in Down syndrome. IT neurons are labeled in magenta and deep-layer neurons in green. IT and double-positive neurons are increased in DS at this stage [de la Torre-Ubieta Lab] A ...

The brains of humans and other mammals contain a vast array of neuronal and non-neuronal cell types. The human capacity to process information into complex emotions, behaviours and decisions relies on ...
