Emerging findings suggest that viral DNA may play an important part in how embryos form, right after fertilization.

Chinese scientists have used embryonic stem cell engineering to create the first mice with two fathers to reach adulthood, which has also revealed a possible way to enhance the developmental ...

Research from the Voigt lab at the Babraham Institute has investigated the mechanism by which bivalency functions to poise ...

A guardian molecule ensures that liver cells do not lose their identity. This has been discovered by researchers from the ...

Conventional human pluripotent stem cells at the primed pluripotent state are capable of generating all the embryonic lineages. However, their ...

The mice reached adulthood, a development made possible through targeted genetic engineering of imprinted genes.

A team of stem cell scientists have successfully used embryonic stem cell engineering to create a bi-paternal mouse—a mouse with two male parents—that lived until adulthood. Their results, published ...

Extraembryonic trophoblast lineages constitute the placenta, and are essential for individual development. In human early embryo development, these cells can be generated from totipotent blastomeres.

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden are conducting clinical trials involving the transplantation of dopamine cells derived from embryonic stem cells in 12 patients with Parkinson's disease in ...

Scientist Sarallah Rezazadeh from the Icahn School of Medicine explores the molecular mechanisms behind adult stem cells as ...

Researchers created the first bi-paternal mouse by modifying imprinting genes, advancing reproductive science but facing ...
