With weMERFISH, the MERFISHEYES atlas and the integration of live imaging, researchers now have a new tool at their disposal.

The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets an egg, are shrouded in scientific mystery. The process of how a humble single cell becomes an organism fascinates scientists across ...

A team of scientists has just gotten a closer peek into one of the earliest and most fundamental steps of creating a human life. Research out today highlights how they captured—for the first ...

Biological processes depend on puzzle pieces coming together and interacting. Under specific conditions, these interactions can create something new without external input. This is called ...

Using CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into embryo-like structures, scientists were able to create 'programmable' cellular models of embryos without ever experimenting ...

A novel screening strategy for identifying embryogenesis-related factors by integrating frozen one-cell embryos, inhibitor libraries, RNA-seq analysis, and genome-editing approaches. A research team ...
