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 ...

"These cells co-develop together, just like they would in an actual embryo, and establish that history of being neighbors," ...

The authors' demonstration that impaired olfactory perception reduces caterpillar performance and increases susceptibility to parasitism is solid. These findings highlight the ecological significance ...

Using CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into embryo-like structures, scientists at UC Santa Cruz were able to create “programmable” cellular models of embryos without ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

Chameleons change color in life and in death. Watch this extraordinary phenomenon as a female chameleon changes colors just ...

This important study provides solid evidence that glucosylceramide synthase (GlcT), a rate-limiting enzyme for glycosphingolipid (GSL) production, plays a role in the differentiation of intestinal ...

A multi-faceted approach combining genetics, nutrition, rearing practices and housing design is required to improve skeletal ...

The City of Edmond says, dry conditions, low humidity, and gusting winds of 60-70 mph created prime conditions for extreme fire weather noting some vehicles were lost within Edmond city limits, ...

The Trump administration has not staffed an office established by Congress to prepare the nation for future pandemics, ...
