“Reduced telomere length can be caused by embryonic cellular damage,” said study co-lead Dr. Yasmyn Winstanley. The ...

Yet it was a complete mystery how the blueprints in the developing embryo of these creatures guided the assembly of these complex parts. Only in the past two decades has the answer begun to emerge.

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 ...

"These cells co-develop together, just like they would in an actual embryo, and establish that history of being neighbors," ...

"Telomeres are the parts of chromosomes that influence the ... "There are specific types of cellular damage during the very ...

New research reveals that the earliest days of embryo development have a measurable impact on a person’s future health and ...

Researchers at the University of Adelaide found that early embryo development affects telomere length, a key marker of aging ...

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