Extraembryonic trophoblast lineages constitute the placenta, and are essential for individual development. In human early embryo development, these cells can be generated from totipotent blastomeres.

Conventional human pluripotent stem cells at the primed pluripotent state are capable of generating all the embryonic lineages. However, their ...

Jan. 28, 2025 — A team of stem cell scientists have successfully used embryonic stem cell engineering to create a bi-paternal mouse -- a mouse with two male parents -- that lived until adulthood.

Emerging findings suggest that viral DNA may play an important part in how embryos form, right after fertilization.

Research from the Voigt lab at the Babraham Institute has investigated the mechanism by which bivalency functions to poise ...

DNA from ancient viruses that form a part of the human genome may be contributing in the early development of an embryo in ...

Researchers created the first bi-paternal mouse by modifying imprinting genes, advancing reproductive science but facing ...

A guardian molecule ensures that liver cells do not lose their identity. This has been discovered by researchers from the ...

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) can be propagated indefinitely in culture, while retaining the ability to differentiate into any cell type in the organism. The molecular and cellular mechanisms ...

If you were old enough to watch the news or read the paper back in the late 1990s, you very likely remember Dolly, the cloned sheep. Born in 1996, the researchers responsible for cloning her kept it ...
