University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development - including the ...

The beating of the heart inside an embryo doesn’t just circulate blood through the developing creature, it also triggers the formation of blood stem cells, the cells that give rise to all other forms ...

Embryology is the discipline concerned with the study of embryogenesis, the development of the embryo from a fertilised egg cell. Findings in embryology have helped in the understanding of congenital ...

Researchers at UCL and the Francis Crick Institute have, for the first time, identified the origin of cardiac cells using 3D images of a heart forming in real-time, inside a living mouse embryo. For ...

A popular vanilla flavoring in e-cigarettes may interfere with some of the earliest steps of human development. In lab experiments, vanillin caused embryonic stem cells to lose their ability to ...
