Toward the goal of generating high-quality embryo models in vitro, this study establishes a stepwise protocol to derive trophectoderm-like cells from mouse extended pluripotent stem (EPS) cells. These ...

Scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), used CRISPR to engineer cellular models of embryos that mimic what happens in the first few days after reproductive cells meet. These ...

Integrated screening and CRISPR reveal eleven previously unknown factors essential for early embryo development. They showed ...

That's why many mammalian embryos can postpone their growth to get through periods of environmental stress and then re-enter development when conditions improve. This stalling of development is known ...

Disrupting maternal gut-immune axis perturbed immune networks in developing mouse brains, revealing potential mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental disorders.

Infertility is a major healthcare concern. Understanding the molecular regulators governing fertilization, early embryonic ...
