One of the main arguments made for bodyoids is that they could provide spare human organs. There’s a huge shortage of organs ...

Vaping during pregnancy is becoming more common, but its impact on early human development is not well understood. A new ...

Researchers at the Center for Embryology and Healthy Development (CRESCO) aim to find out why so many early embryos fail in ...

In vertebrates, the skeleton of different regions of the body arises from different precursor cells. Researchers at the ...

Cells constantly shift and transform, triggering the complex choreography that shapes living organisms. Whether dividing into new cells or sculpting an embryo, these tiny movements rely on chemical ...

Construction began for a first-of-its-kind scientific research facility for human cell lineage in Guangzhou, capital of ...

Purdue University scientists have discovered a key mechanism that regulates how plants develop chloroplasts, essential ...

Engineered starfish oocytes shape-shift in response to light, may enable the design of synthetic, light-activated cells for ...

It may be disturbing to characterize human bodies in such commodifying terms, but the unavoidable reality is that human ...

Scientists used light to control how a starfish egg cell jiggles and moves during its earliest stage of development. Their optical system could guide the design of synthetic, light-activated cells for ...

The researchers observed that light activated the enzyme, causing predictable cell movements. For example, specific light ...
