What happens in the first weeks after a human embryo implants in the uterus has been a black box. Now, biologists have had a chance to study this stage of development in detail for the first time. The ...

A new study led by scientists at Uppsala University and INRAE/Université Paris-Saclay has discovered that the pro-viral host protein ZC3H11A plays a critical role in maintaining embryo viability ...

Using the fruit fly, scientists have constructed a complete and detailed single-cell map of embryo development. This research will also help scientists pursue questions like how mutations lead to ...

At least 8% of the human genome is genetic material from viruses. It was considered ‘junk DNA’ until recently, but its role in human development is now known to be essential Researchers at the Spanish ...

The major objection to the use of embryonic stem cells for scientific research seems overcome by the promising development of a way to extract cells and propagate stem cell lines without killing the ...
