Experiments in mouse-derived astrocytes and human embryonic stem cells identify GLIS3 as an upstream regulator of astrocyte ...

The use of a precise gene editing technique to edit human embryos has caught the attention of academics and society, yet ...

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

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

Researchers have developed a computational framework that acts as a standardized benchmark for human embryo models.

The practice of editing the genes of embryos remains highly controversial and risky, but Origin Genomics founder Cathy Tie argues its a “moral imperative” to address hereditary diseases. When the ...

A biotech startup leads a new effort to edit human embryos therapeutically, hoping technical advances will persuade ...

The immortal jellyfish is capable of winding back its lifecycle to become young again. Scientists are unlocking its cellular ...

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 ...

Human beings are made of ~50 trillion cells which arise from serial mitotic divisions of a single cell - the fertilised egg. Remarkably, the early human embryo is often chromosomally abnormal, and ...

Research into human-animal chimeras could have a therapeutic payoff, but the work brings up thorny ethical questions.
