The team differentiated the human naïve ESC into four subpopulations and cultured them at specific ratios to promote the development of embryonic tissues. While monitoring the ESC-based embryo model’s ...

For the first time, scientists at the Francis Crick Institute have successfully developed human stem cell models that include a functional notochord—a crucial tissue in embryonic development ...

Human development starts from a single fertilized oocyte that has the potential to develop into both foetal and extraembryonic tissues. After fertilisation and during the next few cell divisions ...

In the mouse developing embryo, she previously demonstrated a bias at the two-cell stage: one cell contributed more to fetal tissue and the other to the placenta. 4 “We know so little about the very ...

You might recall images of embryonic development from your high ... The truth is, though, that the earliest stages of human ...

External views of mouse embryos after 10.5 days of embryonic development. The embryos on the left show a technique for revealing where individual genes are expressed (Wnt1, Wnt5a and Wnt11).
