Building an atlas of all the cell types that make up the body typically requires multinational collaborations and massive budgets. But a technique that can analyse the genetic activity of hundreds of ...

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 ...

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

Scientists have created a 6-legged mouse embryo with an extra pair of hindlimbs at the expense of their external genitalia. But far from creating a monster, this rudimentary rodent provides important ...

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have harnessed mouse stem cells to create model “synthetic” embryos that comprise a brain, a beating heart, and the foundations of all the other organs of ...

Researchers announce the development of a mouse embryo model, complete with beating hearts and the foundations for a brain and other organs, out of mouse embryonic stem cells. Just two weeks after ...

Researchers have used three types of stem cells to create a mouse embryo in a dish, according to research published in Nature Cell Biology yesterday (July 23). The cultured embryos transformed into a ...

The stem-cell-derived embryos could shed new light on the earliest stages of human pregnancy. Mouse embryos recently generated from stem cells in a lab show more brain development than any synthetic ...

Scientists in Israel are now one step closer to growing human organs in a laboratory thanks to mouse embryos. They successfully grew synthetic mouse embryos without using sperm, eggs, or a womb.
