From the moment an embryo starts to take shape, two-way communication is critical for making sure tissues and organs develop correctly. Two of the first physical structures to form in the embryo are ...

For several years, researchers studied human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) to understand the unique features of these pluripotent cells, but on their own, they poorly resembled the complex structures ...

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

Researchers have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four weeks after fertilization. This is ...

In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., ...

Researchers have identified Nr1h2, a critical transcription factor essential for early embryo development. Their findings enhance our understanding of gene regulation during blastoid formation and ...

The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) Embryo Models Working Group has released updated recommendations for the oversight and regulation of stem cell-based embryo models (SCBEM), ...
