Embryo development starts when a single egg cell is fertilized and starts dividing continuously. Initially a chaotic cluster, it gradually evolves into a highly organized structure. Scientists have ...

Researchers in the College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources have developed a novel line of bovine embryonic stem ...

Scientists have discovered a method of helping human stem cells thrive in an animal embryo—a key development in efforts to grow human organs in animals for medical transplants. A study by UT ...

The first few days of a human embryo’s development, known as pre-implantation, are important. It’s when the first cells are formed, and these decide if the embryo can survive, how it will implant in ...

Scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), used CRISPR to engineer cellular models of embryos that mimic what happens in the first few days after reproductive cells meet. These ...

A single-celled creature originally found in shallow sea sediments around Hawaii develops into multicellular structures with remarkable similarities to animal embryos. The finding could help ...

In a bid to improve organ transplant options in the future, a team led by researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences has shown that it's possible to produce pig embryos containing "humanized" ...

In cow-calf systems, many of the factors that determine productivity, fertility and longevity are set long before a ...

Scientists have created a stem cell-derived model of the human embryo in the lab by reprogramming human stem cells. The breakthrough could help research into genetic disorders and in understanding why ...
