Marta Shahbazi transformed the understanding of human embryo development with groundbreaking in vitro culture models.

Caltech researchers have developed a powerful new method for creating embryo-like structures from stem cells that could transform how we study fertility. Using stem cells rather than a traditional ...

Scientists from Skoltech, together with colleagues from the Kharkevich Institute for Information Transmission Problems of the ...

For the first time, stem cells typically considered restricted to forming body tissues spontaneously formed a yolk-sac-like structure in a model of the human embryo. Stem cell models of human embryos ...

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are stem cells derived from the undifferentiated inner mass cells of a human embryo. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent, meaning they are able to grow (i.e. differentiate ...

Rapid advances are allowing scientists to goad balls of stem cells into organizing themselves into organoids — from ...

Researchers have identified a previously unrecognized hematopoietic niche at the maternal–fetal interface in mice, containing ...

A mouse embryo has now been made to write its own family tree. A recording device called the DNA Typewriter, built in Jay Shendure’s laboratory at the University of Washington, kept a running log of ...

The beating of the heart inside an embryo doesn’t just circulate blood through the developing creature, it also triggers the formation of blood stem cells, the cells that give rise to all other forms ...

Neutrophils are white blood cells that form part of the body's first line of defense. Researchers have now demonstrated for the first time that neutrophils are found in many tissues during embryonic ...

Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as “miracle” cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in our bodies, promising revolutionary medical treatments. However, ...
