A major step toward personalized treatments.

From the moment an embryo starts to take shape, two-way communication is critical for making sure tissues and organs develop ...

Under the microscope, MSK scientists studied how cells in a mouse embryo (green) move out and break away from their original tissue by contracting their surfaces (red). Studying this process, known as ...

Scientists at EPFL have created a scalable 3D organoid model that captures key features of early limb development, revealing ...

A gene that turns on very early in embryonic development could be key to the formation of the placenta, which provides the ...

Despite being an essential developmental process, the understanding of human embryonic genome activation is limited, owing to the lack of in vitro cell models and ethical concerns. To advance ...

Researchers have gained new insights into the mechanism behind the spatial organization of DNA within the cells of early embryos. When an embryo is first formed after fertilization, each cell has the ...

Genes are transcribed from DNA into RNA, which is then processed in various ways before being translated into proteins. RNA molecules get edited or spliced, and certain sequences might be removed ...
