How does the embryo develop during the third week of pregnancy?
Week 3 of pregnancy is a critical stage when the embryo begins to grow rapidly. During this week, cells divide at an ...
Using CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into embryo-like structures, scientists were able to create 'programmable' cellular models of embryos without ever experimenting ...
Magdalena (Magda) Zernicka-Goetz, today a developmental and stem cell biologist at the University of Cambridge and California Institute of Technology, recalled being an artistic child who enjoyed ...
Multicellularity is one of the most profound phenomena in biology, and relies on the ability of a single cell to reorganize itself into a complex organism. It underpins the diversity in the animal ...
A new review from Genes and Diseases sheds light on the pivotal role of LINE-1 elements in preimplantation development and totipotency, revealing their essential contributions to early mammalian ...
A research team showed that, contrary to current models, one early embryonic cell dominates lineages that will become the fetus. “They are not identical,” said Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz, a ...
