After fertilization, a human embryo implants into the uterus (day 6-12) and gastrulation starts soon afterwards, with the primitive streak emerging at about day 14. Gastrulation allocates cell fates ...
Schematic illustration demonstrating different stages of embryo development, highlighting the time-point of implantation with an arrow. Embryos lacking the ZC3H11A protein are unable to survive after ...
Two to three weeks after conception, an embryo faces a critical point in its development. In the stage known as gastrulation, the transformation of embryonic cells into specialized cells begins. This ...
Researchers have used naïve pluripotent stem cells to create an embryo model that looks and acts like a natural human embryo. They say it’s an ethical way of gaining a better understanding of ...
A recent Nature study evaluates post-implantation development in humans using embryo-like models based on genetically unmodified human naïve embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Study: Complete human day 14 ...
When Berna Sozen, PhD, assistant professor of Developmental Stem Cell Biology at Yale, was in her first weeks of pregnancy, she couldn’t help but wonder about what exactly was going on in the “black ...
