One of the main arguments made for bodyoids is that they could provide spare human organs. There’s a huge shortage of organs ...

In vertebrates, the skeleton of different regions of the body arises from different precursor cells. Researchers at the ...

What animal has the longest gestation period? From salamanders to elephants, here's how long it can take to make a baby.

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

Makongi Agri Ltd, which runs Makongi Farm in Eldoret through its sister company Indicus East Africa Ltd managed to import ...

A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — ...

UCSC scientists have used CRISPR to develop programmable embryoids that can be used to study early embryo development and ...

Using CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into embryo-like structures, scientists were able to create 'programmable' cellular models of embryos without ever experimenting ...

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

The CRISPR programming not only allows the scientists to activate the genes at the beginning of the experimentation process, but also enables them to activate or modify genes important for other parts ...

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 ...
