A research team led by Associate Professor Hirofumi Nishizono and graduate student Masaki Kato from the Research Support ...

Toward the goal of generating high-quality embryo models in vitro, this study establishes a stepwise protocol to derive trophectoderm-like cells from mouse extended pluripotent stem (EPS) cells. These ...

A stretch of viral DNA in the mouse genome gives cells in early-stage embryos the potential to become almost any cell type in ...

Model used to create a cellular ‘hologram’ of a mouse embryo could be used to visualize development in any species. Researchers have created the most detailed 3D cellular map yet of a mouse embryo, ...

Using CRISPR-based technologies, the MoDeL team introduces precise genetic modifications in mice, enabling researchers to uncover how mammalian genes maintain health and contribute to disease.

Scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), used CRISPR to engineer cellular models of embryos that mimic what happens in the first few days after reproductive cells meet. These ...

Researchers have identified the origin of cardiac cells using 3D images of a heart forming in real-time, inside a living mouse embryo. Researchers at UCL and the Francis Crick Institute have, for the ...

Embryo development starts when a single egg cell is fertilized and starts dividing continuously. Initially a chaotic cluster, it gradually evolves into a highly organized structure. Scientists have ...

The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.
