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 ...

For decades, scientists have been able to look at individual moments in the development of an embryo: a snapshot of a ...

A molecular tracking technology called DNA Typewriter can record the cellular lineage of a mouse embryo, from a single cell to over a million.

Scientists have traced the development of a mouse embryo from its first two cells to the formation of organs, using a ...

Gene-editing technologies enabled researchers to trace the cell-by-cell development of a single fertilised mouse egg to a ...

A single-embryo spatial transcriptomic and metabolomic atlas maps stage-specific molecular programmes across organ primordia ...

A lot happens in the first month of human embryo development as a single cell morphs into multitudes. Yet despite its significance, this period is basically a “black box” to researchers, says stem ...

Stem cell-derived embryo models offer scientists a promising way to investigate the earliest stages of human development, but ...

Embryonic development, also known as embryogenesis, is a cornerstone in understanding the origins of life. But studying this marvel of intricate and layered biological processes in people faces ...

A controlled study in three slash pine lines found that optimized ratios of five nitrogen sources promoted somatic embryo maturation and shifted associated enzyme activity toward nitrogen assimilation ...

University of Sydney researchers have developed a new way to test how closely lab-grown biological models resemble real human embryos, finding that while some models perform well, none yet fully ...
