A paper published in PNAS presents a detailed map of how multiple cerebellar projections to the rest of the brain develop, identifying when and how these connections are established and consolidated.

UCSF’s Program in Craniofacial Biology (PCB) brings together researchers to study the cellular and molecular mechanisms ...

They discovered that a gene called VGLL1 (vestigial like family member 1) was turned on very early during placenta formation.

A new study finds urban raccoons have snouts 3.56% shorter than rural ones, supporting early domestication traits.

Scientists at EPFL have created a scalable 3D organoid model that captures key features of early limb development, revealing ...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a lab-grown embryo-like model called “hematoids”, which self-organises from stem cells to mimic very early human development. After about two ...

Every human life begins as a cluster of cells that soon face critical decisions. Within weeks, those cells must choose their fates – some forming the nervous system, others the gut, heart, or muscle.

In a controversial step that raises the possibility of a new kind of infertility treatment, scientists report that they have produced functional human eggs in the lab that were able to be fertilized ...

Aug. 11 (UPI) --A team of Spanish researchers announced Friday they have for the first time recorded video of a human embryo implanting itself in a simulated uterine wall, revealing never-before-seen ...

The development of brain organoids and use of human embryonic neural structures for research each raise distinct ethical considerations that require careful analysis. We propose that rather than ...
