It’s pretty rare, but just like us mammals, some flies actually give live birth. One of them is a parasitic fly species Ormia ochracea ( O. ochracea ). A new study published this week in the Annals of ...

For instance, gastruloid models showed that Huntington's disease can be detected within the first two weeks of embryo development.

During embryonic development, thousands of cells divide and move collectively to sculpt the main body axes. Understanding the mechanisms that coordinate this collective behavior remains a significant ...

The film explores the reproductive cycles and embryonic development of amphibians, specifically frogs and salamanders. It details the processes of fertilization, egg development, and the stages of ...

Their "programmable” embryo-like structures, also known as embryoids, can be used to study the role of certain genes in early development ...

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

There are transposable elements in the human genome that are active in the earliest stages of human embryo development, when there is significant molecular flexibility and plasticity. But the ...

Early embryo development is a highly dynamic process that is of great interest to scientists, but most studies tend to focus on a single species, typically mouse or human.

Embryo models—that is, embryos created using stem cells—could provide a real alternative for studying some of the hardest problems in human development, unlocking crucial details about, say ...

Embryonic development has been extensively studied, but most of our knowledge of the earliest stages of a growing baby come from stationary snapshots.

Cell compaction is a crucial step in embryo development. Defective compaction prevents the formation of the structure that ensures an embryo can implant in the uterus. This stage is carefully ...
