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

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

Researchers have used naïve pluripotent stem cells to create an embryo model that looks and acts like a natural human embryo. They say it’s an ethical way of gaining a better understanding of ...

Scientists have created a stem cell-derived model of the human embryo in the lab by reprogramming human stem cells. The breakthrough could help research into genetic disorders and in understanding why ...

Transforming human stem cells into embryo-like structures was previously unthinkable. Yet seemingly overnight, multiple teams published initial results that reach towards this goal. Each team has a ...

Using human stem cells, scientists have created human embryo-like structures inside petri dishes. These lab-grown blobs develop multiple structures that mimic a human embryo after implantation into ...

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

Infertility is a major healthcare concern. Understanding the molecular regulators governing fertilization, early embryonic ...
