A Breakthrough in Visualizing Genetic Development American researchers have achieved a groundbreaking feat by creating a ...

“A central question has been: How do thousands of genes work together in an embryo, and how is their activity linked to the movement of cells?” says first author Yinan Wan. To answer this question, ...

How does a tiny cluster of cells become an embryo with a head, trunk, and tail? And how do thousands of genes coordinate this development? A new imaging method makes it possible to visualize the ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early embryonic development have remained elusive – particularly for egg-laying ...

New stem cell-based embryo model reveals previously unknown communication between early tissues that become the spine and muscles in the central part of the body. From the moment an embryo starts to ...

With today's advanced microscopes, scientists can capture videos of entire embryos developing in real time. But there's a catch: turning those breathtaking images into clean, accurate trajectories of ...

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a highly aggressive soft tissue sarcoma, affecting children and adolescents, with poor prognosis in some patient groups. Better therapeutic regimens and preclinical models to ...
