The role of Fibroblast Growth Factor 8 (FGF8) in embryonic development and organ formation is gaining increased recognition as scientists uncover its wide-ranging influence.

Researchers bank on stem cells to study developmental biology, understand oral cancer, regenerate organs, and save species on ...

Activation of cell death pathways typically leads to the irreversible destruction of the cell. However, in this issue of The ...

Some might say it looks like a finger. Others might see a worm. Scientists in the field often liken it to an antenna. The technical name is primary cilium. This slender, microscopic appendage juts out ...

Researchers at EPFL have created the first 4D lipid atlas of vertebrate development, revealing how fats shape our bodies from embryo to organism.

The team found that 80% of the stem cells organize themselves into a structure that mimics the most basic form of an embryo after a few days, and most undergo gene activation that reflects the ...

Scientists discover that human cells possess a built-in mechanism to revive from near-death states, enabling tissue ...

International Society for Stem Cell Research says researchers shouldn't use stem cell-based embryo models to try to start a pregnancy in person or animal.
