The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets an egg, are shrouded in scientific mystery. The process of how ...

Researchers at the University of Adelaide have found that the initial stages of embryo development significantly influence an ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

However, gastrulation, the period beyond this cutoff, represents when the embryo begins to form the eventual body plan, making it an interesting stage to understand early organogenesis. “We’ve just ...

Researchers have discovered that the earliest days of embryo development have a measurable impact on a person's future health and aging.

Cytoplasmic flows guide chromosome positioning during embryogenesis. During the first stages of animal embryo development, the egg cell undergoes multiple divisions without growin ...
