Human heart development is largely influenced by neural crest cells, which carefully regulate a key growth signal.

Descriptions of the embryo go back at least to the time of Aristotle, but it has only been since the late 19 th century and early 20 th century that advances in experimental approaches allowed ...

Researchers have mapped the complex molecular interactions that occur during the earliest stages of human development. New international research shines a light on the role of transcription factors ...

The dialogue findings provide an initial snapshot of public opinion on human embryo research, and that of stem cell embryo models, and aim to inform future public consultation, policy development and ...

Animal models have long shaped how biomedical research is conducted. They have influenced how diseases are studied, how ...

Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, School of Medicine, University of Washington Embryonic development, also known as embryogenesis, is a cornerstone in understanding the origins of life ...

Imagine a world where the boundaries of biology are no longer fixed—a world where life can be created in a lab, where artificial intelligence can preserve a version of you long after you’re gone, and ...

This study characterizes the molecular interactions and functions of human PRDL and other transcription factors in embryonic genome activation (EGA), revealing more than 1,000 high-confidence ...
