It's one of life's most defining moments - that crucial step in embryonic development, when an indistinct ball of cells rearranges itself into the orderly three-layered structure that sets the stage ...

Researchers at Sinai Health have found that a critical transition in early human development is regulated not by our genes, but by DNA elements called transposons that can move around the genome. The ...

Researchers reveal that the guinea pig pre-implantation embryo is very similar to the human embryo, spurring a better understanding of infertility and early human development. CRCHUM researcher Sophie ...

Stem cells are precursors of a variety of different cells: They can turn into anything from blood to bone to muscle. Human blood stem cells, known as hematopoietic stem cells, are the forerunners of ...

The images show the inside of the cell nucleus at an 8-cell stage (left) and at a later stage (right). Chromosome 19 is shown in red whereas the nucleolus containing the gene-silencing machinery is in ...

The team observed the emergence of the three-dimensional embryo-like structures under a microscope in the lab. These started producing blood (seen here in red) after around two weeks of development - ...
