Studying embryogenesis is key to unraveling the mysteries of early life. luismmolina/iStock via Getty Images Plus Embryonic development, also known as embryogenesis, is a cornerstone in understanding ...

Scientists in the Brivanlou lab used light-inducible gene expression (yellow circle) and embryo models to demonstrate that, at the start of gastrulation, body-axis formation requires an interplay ...

Research from Ph.D. candidate Bohan Chen in the lab of Idse Heemskerk of the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology at the University of Michigan Medical School and their colleagues improves ...

Only two weeks after fertilization, the first sign of the formation of the three axes of the human body (head/tail, ventral/dorsal, and right/left) begins to appear. At this stage, known as ...

Researchers have developed a new embryo-like model derived from adult cells that replicates key features of early human development, including the generation of blood cells. University of Pittsburgh ...

A mature cell of one type can be turned into a mature cell of another type without the cell having to pass through an earlier stage of development. This is called direct reprogramming, a reliable but ...

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare condition that's difficult to treat. The hallmarks of the disease—narrowing of the arterioles and capillaries that deliver blood to the lungs—force the ...
