A new discovery by researchers challenges our current understanding of gastrulation, the most important stage of early embryonic development. When the zygote, or the fertilised egg, starts to develop, ...

It's one of life's most defining moments - that crucial step in embryonic development, when an indistinct ball of cells rearranges itself into the orderly three-layered structure that sets the stage ...

A serendipitous discovery in the lab has the potential to revolutionize embryo models and targeted drug therapies. Materials scientists at UNSW Sydney have shown that human pluripotent stem cells in a ...

Toward the goal of generating high-quality embryo models in vitro, this study establishes a stepwise protocol to derive trophectoderm-like cells from mouse extended pluripotent stem (EPS) cells. These ...
