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

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.

A guardian molecule ensures that liver cells do not lose their identity. This has been discovered by researchers from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), the Hector Institute für Translational ...

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 ...

An innovative organoid model mirrors the pancreas' complexity, generating all three key cell types to explore development and ...

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

Scientists have discovered that neural stem cells (NSCs) receive constant feedback from their daughter cells, influencing whether they remain dormant or activate to form new neurons and glia.

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

Stem cell engineering and CRISPR were used to create mice with two male parents. Could we use this technique on humans?
