Only two weeks after fertilization, the first sign of the formation of the 3 axes of the human body (head/tail, ventral/dorsal, and right/left) begins to appear. At this stage, known as gastrulation, ...
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 ...
Researchers have identified the origin of cardiac cells using 3D images of a heart forming in real-time, inside a living mouse embryo. Researchers at UCL and the Francis Crick Institute have, for the ...
A study published today in the journal Developmental Cell uncovers new insights into how the heart forms during the earliest stages of embryonic development.
