Pluripotent stem cells are cells that have the capacity to self-renew by dividing and to develop into the three primary germ cell layers of the early embryo and therefore into all cells of the ...

AT last we have the pleasure of welcoming the largest work so far written by one who is perhaps the greatest living master of experimental morphology. It has received admirable treatment by the ...

This innovation mirrors key features of human development and could advance the study of spine-related birth defects and conditions like intervertebral disc degeneration. Scientists at the Francis ...

While much is known about the corresponding large scale tissue flow and its genetic drivers, fundamental questions regarding local control of contractile activity on cellular scale and its ...

Here, we generated the mCherry knock-in at titin’s Z-disk to study skeletal muscle development and remodeling. We find titin’s integration into the sarcomere tightly regulated and its unexpected ...

JWST observes Jupiter-mass binary objects (JuMBOs) in Orion Nebula JuMBOs might be failed stars or ejected planetary systems Findings could redefine understanding of stellar and planetary formation ...

There is a yolk sac, which has some of the roles of the liver and kidneys, and a bilaminar embryonic disc - one of the key hallmarks of this stage of embryo development. The hope is embryo models ...

Chemonucleolysis has become an established method of producing whole organ culture models of intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration. However, the field needs more side-by-side comparisons of the ...

Synthetic embryos are also known as "embryo models", as they resemble embryos, for the purposes of research, rather than being identical to them. University of Cambridge Prof Magdalena Zernicka ...
