Researchers have just shown that pregnant female mice with low iron levels can lead to the development of male embryos that ...

Scientists in Japan and Australia have shown that iron deficiency during pregnancy can cause a complete sex reversal in ...

Human-animal embryo research in Japan began in 2019 with the world’s first government-approved study to grow human organs in ...

A new study from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology has uncovered how the MN1 gene evolved to shape both the ...

Embryonic development has been extensively studied, but most of our knowledge of the earliest stages of a growing baby come from stationary snapshots. However, understanding the dynamic processes ...

they model embryonic development’s pre-implantation period, up to seven days post fertilization. While stem cell-based embryo models greatly extend the ability to study this period of development, ...

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.

This technique makes it possible to use large amounts of image data to numerically detect subtle differences in embryo development. During the course of the experiments, the team noticed that in ...

They use CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into “programmable” embryo-like structures, also known as embryoids, which can be used to study the role of certain genes in ...
