Updated : 2 years, 7 months ago IST
In the "black box" of human development known as gastrulation, an embryo transforms from a hollow, spherical structure to a multilayered one. Human embryos are typically not cultured for longer than 14 days due to bioethical concerns, and gastrulation happens between 17 and 21 days after fer

Researchers create human embryo-like entities with extraembryonic tissue
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Gastrulation is a "black box" of human development in which an embryo reorganises itself from a hollow spherical to a multilayered structure. Because of bioethical considerations, human embryos are normally not cultured for more than 14 days, and gastrulation occurs between 17 and 21 days po

Study finds mitochondrial mutations in single cells
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
New knowledge about mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations has been obtained through the use of a high-throughput single-cell, single-mitochondrial genome sequencing technique known as iMiGseq. This technology also provides a platform for evaluating mtDNA editing techniques and genetically diag

Study finds how worm embryos produce specific, pluripotent cells
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
Researchers have discovered how specific proteins within roundworm chromosomes enable their offspring to produce specialised cells generations later, a startling discovery that challenges the conventional wisdom that hereditary information for cell differentiation is primarily ingrained with

DNA sequence helps in understanding origins of jaws: Study
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Researchers at Uppsala University have discovered and characterised a DNA sequence found in jawed vertebrates, such as sharks and humans, but absent in jawless vertebrates, such as lampreys. This DNA is important for the shaping of the joint surfaces during embryo development.

Stem cell biologists create new human cell types for research
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Washington [US], September 2 (ANI): Scientists have managed to generate a new type of human cell in the lab using stem cells. The new cells closely resemble their natural counterparts in early human embryos. As a result, researchers can now better study what happens just after an embryo impl
