Multicellularity is one of the most profound phenomena in biology, and relies on the ability of a single cell to reorganize ...

Rowan University biology professor Natasha Shylo is exploring left-right asymmetry development with a grant from the National Institutes of Health.

Conditional genetics and single-embryo RNA-seq show that SETDB1 extinguishes the transient, retroelement-driven transcriptional programs of the totipotent two-cell state to facilitate the exit from ...

Studying the shape of tissues and organs is critical to understanding how they are formed. Embryonic development happens in ...

Neural crest cells are a population of stem cells that invade the embryo in early development. They play a big role in what ...

Selecting the healthiest embryo is one of the most important steps in in‑vitro fertilization (IVF), yet it remains one of the ...

Technological, ethical and legal issues have limited the understanding of the early stages of embryonic development in humans, despite its importance in basic developmental biology and reproductive ...

A pair of research teams unveiled two new ways to replicate a key structure from the earliest days of embryonic development — an advance that could provide important new insight into human development ...

Metabolism does more than fuel embryos—it sets their developmental rhythm. EMBL researchers found that a sugar molecule, FBP, controls the pace of spine formation, suggesting metabolism may act as a ...

Selecting the healthiest embryo is one of the most important steps in in ‑ vitro fertilization (IVF), yet it remains one of ...
