By editing thousands of genes in mouse stem cells, the scientists identified a list of over 300 that are crucial for neural differentiation.

Scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), used CRISPR to engineer cellular models of embryos that mimic what happens in the first few days after reproductive cells meet. These ...

A team at Kobe University has created a game-changing resource for autism research: 63 mouse embryonic stem cell lines, each carrying a genetic mutation strongly associated with the disorder. By ...

The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.

Descriptions of the embryo go back at least to the time of Aristotle, but it has only been since the late 19 th century and early 20 th century that advances in experimental approaches allowed ...

New research may offer hope for endangered species Findings offer potential for regenerative medicine field Earlier study used different method for 'bipaternal' mice Jan 28 (Reuters) - Scientists in ...

Chimpanzee naive pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) can now be grown in cellular cultures, reveals a recent study. They successfully created chimpanzee early embryo models, called 'blastoids,' and found ...

Researchers in Japan have successfully generated lung cells similar to alveolar epithelial type 2 (AT2) cells from mouse embryonic fibroblasts without using stem cell technology. The AT2-like cells ...

The researchers' success in direct reprogramming of mouse fibroblasts into alveolar epithelial-like cells may lead to new treatments for serious lung diseases. Researchers in Japan have successfully ...
